ANTONIO MAGANA NAMED CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH FOR MARCH 2017
Antonio Magaña was named Certificated Employee of the Month for the Santa Ana Unified School District for March 2017. Magaña is a fifth grade teacher at Martin Elementary, where he has worked since 1990. He regularly volunteers his time to serve students and families, including taking students to an annual science camp and acting as a speech coach.
“He is calm, reassuring, and a positive role model for our students,” said Martin Principal Peter Richardson. “Mr. Magaña just exemplifies that life of hard work and success and service to others that I think we wish for all of our students.”
During the March 28, 2017 Board of Education meeting in which he was recognized, Magaña said: “As teachers we’re not in it for the money or the glitz or glamour. But it is nice to be acknowledged for the hard work that we put in. I am really humbled and honored.”
