SBCUSD is a 2025 Golden Bell Award winner!
We are proud to announce that our Pathway to Biliteracy program has earned a prestigious Golden Bell from the California School Boards Association (CSBA). The award, considered like the Emmy of public education, was presented at CSBA’s annual conference in Sacramento on Wednesday. This honor celebrates years of commitment to language development, cultural pride and academic excellence for our multilingual learners.
Thank you to our dedicated educators, families and students whose hard work made this recognition possible. Our community continues to shine as we expand opportunities for students to thrive in more than one language.
SBCUSD is leading the way and showing what is possible when we invest in every child’s brilliance.
