Recognizing Greatness Awards
Two award programs in this category: El Espirítu de la Comunidad Awards for Grassroots Community Leaders and the Maestro Award for exemplary educators. For the Espíritu de la Comunidad Awards, we select leaders who have made an impact in their respective communities throughout the years. Their leadership truly embodies the spirit of their community. For the Maestro Awards, we select teachers who deserve to be recognized for the work they do towards a better education and support for students.
Espíritu de la Comunidad Awards
Espíritu de la Comunidad Awards – In every city there are always a group of people or individuals pushing for better opportunities, for equal rights, for better security and protection or for better education. By giving these community leaders recognition, it encourages them to continue their efforts. They come from all backgrounds, have their own stories, struggles and goals, but all of that is what pushes them forward to help their community succeed.
