Every year, a select group from Salem-Keizer Public School’s 5,000 educators are honored with a Crystal Apple Award — a special recognition for exceeding their regular duties to demonstrate best practices and improve the lives of students.
Thursday, Nov. 1, 12 recipients — including teachers, administrators and support staff — were chosen from 61 nominees and celebrated before a full house at Salem’s historic Elsinore Theatre.
Meet this year’s honorees here.
