Case Studies
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Competitions
The 2025 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Awards Reception took place this month, celebrating the remarkable achievements of student winners in the speech, art, and essay categories of the annual Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Competition Series hosted by the Fresno County Superintendent of Schools. This year’s theme, “Dreaming Together: Changed by the Past, Molding the Future,” challenged students to explore their dreams—whether inspired by a historical figure or someone in their own lives. The competion brings together an inspiring group of young minds who demonstrated creativity, thoughtfulness, and a deep understanding of the values Dr. King championed.
Participants were invited to create a speech, artwork, or essay that reflected their vision for the future. As part of the process, students were encouraged to think about how they can turn their dreams into reality. They were reminded that while dreams hold immense power, it is the creation of a clear, actionable plan that makes those dreams possible. This event is held every year in partnership with the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Unity Committee of Fresno and sponsored in part by Educational Employees Credit Union. For a complete list of the 2025 winners visit https://mlk.fcoe.org/contest-winners.
