Employees honored at recent event
– On Tuesday, May 2, the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District celebrated the 2022-2023 employees of the year. The event occurred at Riboli Family Event Center and was themed, “Walk of Fame.”
The Employee of the Year Recognition Program is an opportunity for the Paso Robles Joint Unified School District Board of Trustees and the district to recognize outstanding service by employees. Each school site selects a certificated and classified employee of the year. A classified employee of the year is also chosen by the district sites: food services and the district office.
From these site winners, the district recognized a district Certificated Employee of the Year and Classified Employee of the Year. In addition, the district selected a Manager/Administrator and a Rookie of the Year from our list of finalists.
