Join Us in Celebrating Outstanding Teachers in Cochise County!
Your support can help recognize and reward the exceptional educators who shape our future. Together, we can make a difference in our community!
Every contribution counts in honoring the dedication of our teachers and fostering a thriving educational environment.
The Cochise Education Foundation (CEF) Mini Grants have officially been awarded, with an impressive 70 out of 75 submissions receiving funding this cycle. This is a remarkable testament to the dedication, creativity, and hard work of our educators. To all the teachers who took the time to submit your proposals—great job. You showed up, advocated for your classrooms, and you absolutely deserve this support. Your commitment to enriching student learning continues to move our schools forward, and we’re proud to celebrate your success.
