Legacy Stars
Educators whose influence has shaped generations.
Recognizing lifetimes of dedication. Celebrating lasting impact
At the San Juan Education Foundation, we believe that extraordinary educators leave behind more than just memories — they leave legacies.
The Legacy STARS Award honors former San Juan Unified educators — certificated or classified — whose lifetime of service, leadership, and mentorship have made a profound and enduring difference in the lives of students, colleagues, and the broader community.
These honorees embody the heart of San Juan Unified. Through their passion, guidance, and unwavering commitment, they’ve helped shape generations and strengthen the foundation of public education.
Each year, Legacy STAR recipients are celebrated at the San Juan Education Foundation’s signature gala: An Evening with the STARS
