Over ten years ago, the El Dorado County Office of Education initiated the Golden Star Student awards program for El Dorado County public school students.  

Students in grades preschool through 12th grade who have excelled or shown significant improvement in areas such as citizenship, attendance, leadership, academics, athletics, or community service are selected as Golden Star Students. School administrators at each site select the criteria to be used and may recognize up to 20% of their student enrollment.  Many students work hard towards being selected as a Golden Star Student year after year. 

 

In 2011, over 5,000 Golden Star Students received award certificates and entry passes to the El Dorado County Fair.  Free entry to the Fair provides Golden Star Students the opportunity to attend the Fair on a day of their choice and visit the Education Booth where they are given a mementos. School district administrators and volunteers from the El Dorado County Office of Education welcome students and parents to the Education Booth where they receive personal congratulations and an opportunity to speak one-on-one with advocates of learning.  

Prizes are donated by or funded through contributions from individuals, local businesses and service organizations.
