11th Sep 2019

In anticipation of the next generation of outstanding Latino teachers in Arizona, Chicanos Por La Causa (CPLC) is receiving nominations for their 21^st Annual Esperanza Latino Teacher Awards. This unique event is presented by Cox Communications and SRP in collaboration with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona.

CPLC recognizes the importance of a quality education and believes it is crucial that everyone has the opportunity of obtaining a solid foundation that an education provides. We believe that teachers are at the forefront of providing this lasting impact in and out of the classroom. This is why CPLC has recognized more than 100 leading Latino educators since 1998.
