Sonora, CA — The Tuolumne County Association of School Administrators recognized 19 students from schools across Tuolumne County earlier today.
They were honored at an “Every Student Succeeding” event for their courage, strength, and determination, despite what life may throw at them.
The challenges the students faced ranged from homelessness to family tragedy to life disability. The students are a bright light and continue to attend school, keep their grades up, and serve as an example for others.
