SDCCU Classroom Heroes®

SDCCU Classroom Heroes

Not all heroes wear capes! SDCCU has proudly honored teachers in San Diego County through its Classroom Heroes program, which has recently been enhanced to honor San Diego county teachers' hard work even more. 

During the school year, SDCCU will honor one San Diego County teacher each month as a SDCCU Classroom Hero. Classroom Heroes will be given a $500 Visa® gift card, a Classroom Hero award and their accomplishments will be featured on a segment on CBS 8 and The CW in San Diego.

One lucky Classroom Hero will win our grand prize: A five day, four night luxury staycation at Kona Kai Resort that includes a spa treatment for two, a day bed at the pool, over $600 in restaurant credits and more!
