TEMPE, Ariz., (April 22, 2020) – Join the Tempe Diablos on Monday, May 4, to recognize outstanding
educators serving the Tempe community in what’s known as the “Academy Awards” for teachers. The 31st
annual Excellence in Education ceremony will present teachers, leaders and administrators with a variety of
honors including awards for Teacher of the Year, High Impact and Rising Star. Given the social implications of
COVID-19, the organization will host the event virtually via livestream, which all community members are
encouraged to watch and support the incredible pillars of education in Tempe.
“The Diablos are highly committed to enhancing youth education in Tempe school districts and educators are
our most vital partners in doing so,” said Brad Cox, event chair. “While this year’s ceremony will be much
different from those in the past, we are still devoted to making sure that these incredible leaders receive the
recognition they deserve.”
