2025 Civic Learning Awards
State Superintendent Tony Thurmond Announces 2025 Civic Learning Award Schools
Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero today announced the recipients of the 2025 Civic Learning Awards, California’s highest recognition for public schools promoting civic education. This year’s honorees span the state and reflect the power of civic learning to inspire student leadership, strengthen communities, and connect classroom knowledge to real-world issues.
“The creative ways teachers are engaging students are always impressive," said Chief Justice Guerrero. “But this year, it moved me to see teachers stepping aside and giving space for their students to lead their school and community-based efforts. These schools show us what’s possible when students are empowered to engage in their communities and take on the responsibilities of citizenship.”

The Civic Learning Award program is co-sponsored by the Chief Justice of California and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.
