Scottsdale Charros Honor Students, Educators at Annual Banquet

May 11, 2017 by Scottsdale Charros

The Scottsdale Charros honored the 2017 Scottsdale Unified School District Outstanding Students and Educators, Scottsdale Community College Educator of the Year, and The Charro Foundation scholarship and fellowship recipients during April.

Students and educators were honored at the 31st annual Charros Banquet.

Honorees were celebrated during the Scottsdale Charros 31st annual Outstanding Students and Educators Awards Banquet on April 28 at Mountain Shadows Resort in Paradise Valley.

The event’s keynote speaker was Marshall Trimble, Arizona’s official state historian. Dr. A. Denise Birdwell, SUSD superintendent and Grand Canyon University students also spoke at the event, according to a press release.

“The education process can, at times, be tedious, overwhelming and challenging. The very dynamic of the journey can present hurdles that seem too high and unattainable,” said Charros Education Chair Rick Carpinelli, in the press release.

“The entire populous of SUSD proves daily, weekly and annually that with set goals, focused efforts and teamwork all hurdles are manageable. It is always a pleasure to celebrate the greatness of SUSD.”

During the awards banquet, the following outstanding educators and students were honored.
