Looking for our 2026 STARS!

We are accepting nominations for the 2026 STARS Hall of Fame and Awards. The annual awards celebrate extraordinary alumni, educators and community partners who exemplify innovation, leadership and excellence. 

This year, the San Juan Education Foundation will honor individuals in three award categories:

  • STARS Hall of Fame: Honors San Juan Unified alumni who have made a big difference in their careers.
  • Bryan McKrell Shining STARS Award: Recognizes a person or organization that has made a strong impact on the San Juan Education Foundation or San Juan Unified.
  • Legacy STARS Award: Honors a former San Juan Unified staff member who dedicated their career to helping students succeed.

Honorees will be recognized at the “An Evening with the STARS” gala on Oct. 9.
