STARS Hall of Fame

 

STARS Hall of Fame nOMINATIONS

We want your suggestions for SJUSD alumni who have “reached for the STARS.” Tell us why you think this person has been successful.

The STARS Hall of Fame was established in 2009 by the San Juan Education Foundation, with the support of the school district, to honor exceptional San Juan Unified School District graduates who embody an innovative spirit and have made their mark in their chosen profession. Honorees are inducted into the STARS Hall of Fame each year at the Foundation's “An Evening with the Stars” gala.
