San Diego County school districts nominated 42 of their best and brightest teachers to compete for the County Teacher of the Year award. Five new County Teachers of the Year were announced during the live awards show. These five will go on to compete for State and National Teacher of the Year honors.

This year’s Salute was hosted by Dennis Morgigno and Delana Bennett and featured musical and dance performances by local students and video packages highlighting the nominated teachers. The show was telecast live in HD on YurView California, and will be replayed at the following times:
