APSA Updates: January 2019
Association of Pasadena School Administrators
Happy New Year!
Every Student Succeeding Award
The ESS program is sponsored by ACSA Region XV, and honors students who exceed our expectations and the educators who support them along the way. We are proud to highlight these young men and women who have overcome great obstacles to succeed. They face life’s challenges head on. Their stories are remarkable and their futures are bright. The purpose of this award is to honor students at all grade levels who have succeeded, against all odds, beyond expectations or simply won the hearts of the administrators and other educators who helped them achieve. Congratulations to Theodora!
