Superintendent Jim A. Yovino and The Foundation @ FCOE Board of Directors hosted the FCOE Honors Gala on Saturday, September 14, 2019, at the Fresno City College, Old Administration Building to honor the lifetime contributions of these four individuals. The event featured a social hour and silent auction followed by a multifaceted tribute performance and an after-theatre dinner.
Last year, the FCOE Honors Gala through ticket sales, sponsorships, and auction proceeds, raised over $50,000 for student academic events and programs offered by the Office of the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools.
