Dear San Benito High School parents, students, staff and community:

Congratulations to San Benito High School English teacher Carissa Alvarez and College and Career Center Specialist Mary Andrade on receiving honors from the county office of education!

San Benito High School is hiring instructional assistants! Apply online at www.EdJoin.org.

Recently, at the annual California Agricultural Teachers Association Summer Conference, it was announced that San Benito High School teacher Joe Martin was one of 10 Agriculture Teachers in California and the only agriculture teacher recognized from the local CATA region to earn the Teacher of Excellence award. To qualify for the Teacher of Excellence Award candidates must have:

- Completed 10 years of teaching in a secondary school or community college agricultural education program

- Been a paid member of the CATA for at least 10 years

- Held at least one CATA sectional, regional, or state office

- Be a current paid member of the CATA by the fall regional meeting of the year nominated

- Submit a completed application highlighting professional activities, community involvement, student accomplishments, and instructional program

Approximately 300 San Benito High School students had perfect attendance over the first two weeks of summer school, with zero absences or tardies in their courses. Out of those students, Summer School Assistant Principal Buller created a random name picker to choose five students to receive a Starbucks gift card. Congratulations to Katrina Sandoval Moreno, Edwin Hurtado and Gregory Sanchez (wearing mask in photo with Summer School Principal Kevin Medeiros); Jay Suniga (with Mr. Buller); and Daniel Fragozo (with Mr. Medeiros) on being this week's choices. Keep up the great work and finish strong Balers!
