Employee Recognition Partnership Programs

Fox 5 A+ Educators Award

A+ Educators was created in partnership with FOX5, Silver State Schools Credit Union, and its People Over Profit Foundation to recognize and award outstanding CCSD educators. Twice a month, Team Engagement surprise visits an A+ Educator and highlights the incredible work they’ve done in and out of the classroom. Each educator is awarded $500 for themselves, $500 for their school, and is highlighted on the news. View the stories from past winners HERE.

The Las Vegas Desert Dogs professional indoor box lacrosse team and Subaru of Las Vegas, recognize teachers at all home games.
