SAN DIEGO – San Diego County Credit Union said it has committed its support to local education as a sponsor of “Cox Presents: A Salute to Teachers.”
The event will be held Oct. 1 at the historic Balboa Theatre in Downtown San Diego. SDCCU has supported this event for the past four years.
This year marks the 38th annual Teacher of the Year recognition program, coordinated by the San Diego County Office of Education, and the 21st year the black-tie awards ceremony will be aired live by Cox Communications. The Academy Awards-style television special honors the county’s 26,000 public school teachers, culminating with the announcement of five San Diego County Teachers of the Year. This year’s 45 nominees were selected by their respective districts based on student achievement, professional development and community involvement, teaching philosophy and personal style, knowledge of educational issues and trends, promotion and development of the teaching profession, accountability and ability to serve as ambassadors of education. The five winners named San Diego County Teachers of the Year will represent the County of San Diego in the California Teacher of the Year program. For more event information, visit
