Education Forward Arizona recently recognized Arizona’s innovative education leaders and programs at an event held at the J.W. Marriott Camelback Inn.
Edmundo Hidalgo and Gema Duarte Luna co-chaired the inaugural event, An InspirED Evening, which brought together individuals from across the state to celebrate innovation and collaboration in education.
Education Forward Arizona honored: Benito Almanza, Arizona president at Bank of America, Tempe PRE— a full-day community preschool partnership led by the city of Tempe, Read Better Be Better—an after-school literacy program for Arizona schools, Arizona Student Opportunity Collaborative and Freeport McMoRan’s Native American Scholarship Program.
Ezequias Fuentes, an ASU senior, spoke at the event and said teachers have been an important force growing up.
"Teachers have been very crucial in sparking my interest to continue to receive an education,” Fuentes said. "...I was able to have a four-year college success coach from Education Forward Arizona to guide me and answer my questions."
