The Jack Russell Farm Brewery buzzed with excitement as Association of California School Administrators – El Dorado County Charter members gathered May 2 to recognize outstanding educators for distinguished service to their students, schools and communities.

The awards ceremony began with a welcome by Chuck Palmer, the charter’s president, who highlighted the dedication and commitment of all the educators across the county. He acknowledged the tireless efforts of teachers, administrators and team members who go above and beyond to ensure their students receive the best possible education.

“El Dorado County is blessed to have so many committed professionals who have dedicated their lives to serving the students and families of our community,” Palmer shared. “ACSA is proud to be able to recognize these fine individuals and is thankful for all our administrators, teachers, and staff who pour their hearts and minds into their work.”
