The Pride of SRA Academic Recognition Awards recognize and applaud the achievements that result from hard work, informed decisions, and deep commitment to education in the classroom. Proving that working together, we can make the difference for our nation's children.

Like many other high-performing districts and schools nationwide, the California Pride of SRA award winners exhibit strong educational leadership at all levels, have made a commitment to excellence, and have embraced the importance of reading.

Ask any teacher, ask any parent: we all know how vitally important reading is to the future of our children. That's why we must strive to create a stellar learning environment for them - one where they are empowered to learn.

As the publisher of Open Court Reading and its newest edition SRA Imagine It! SRA/McGraw-Hill is proud to partner with these outstanding California Pride of SRA schools and districts.
