Presenting the 2023-24 Luminaria Awards

2024 Alisal USD Luminaria Awards

 

Every year, the Alisal Union School District, in collaboration with Alisal Education Foundation, recognizes classified and certificated staff with the “Luminaria” award. The Luminaria Award is presented to staff members who have distinguished themselves for their service and dedication to students and families; who shine a bright light for others to follow. Inscribed on the Luminaria certificate, the following quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson reads: “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.”
