Both teachers were selected for their dedication to the teaching profession. Ms. Figueroa and Mrs. Samaniego exemplify the qualities of teachers who deeply care about their students.

CBEE Honor Roll
Heber/Dogwood Schools were two of several schools in Imperial County that were recognized by the California Business for Education Excellence (CBEE) as Honor Roll Schools.
CBEE was formed in 1998 and its mission is to use the power of data to improve public education and close the achievement gap. The CBEE’s Honor Roll program is supported by numerous businesses and organizations. CBEE recognizes schools that consistently demonstrate high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement over time, and reduction in achievement gaps. Greg Jones, CBEE Chair and past member of the California State Board of Education stated, “We have schools throughout the state that are getting it right for all students and this should not be a secret .” Jim Lanich, CBEE president expressed the following; “Honor Roll schools are overcoming challenges and obstacles every day for all student and are especially succeeding with kids who have been historically underserved.” I believe these two quotes clearly define the efforts and accomplishments that are ongoing at Heber and Dogwood Schools. Congratulations to all for a fine job! Jaime Silva, Superintendent
