Spotlight On Classified Employees

A committee of PUSD district and site representatives selected the three District Classified Employees of the Year.  The selection of the District Classified Employees of the year is based on work performance, contributions to the school district, and community service. The San Diego County Office of Education also sponsors a Classified Employee Recognition Program, honoring up to six members of the classified service for all of San Diego County.

Congratulations of the 2024 PUSD Classified Employees of the Year!

This year’s Poway Unified School District’s Classified Employees are Lamis Abousalem, ELL Instructional Assistant at BHMS; Agustin “Steve” Esteban, Custodian at MCES; and Eva Peters, Administrative Assistant for Learning Support Services.  Lamis’ application will also be forwarded to San Diego County Office of Education for consideration for county level honors.
