“We are proud of our Eldorado Middle School students, teachers, and staff for earning this recognition,” said Cody Cusic, superintendent of Eldorado CUSD #4. “Behind this honor are teachers who believe in our students, staff members who support them, and students who are putting in the work. It also reflects the partnership we have with our families and community. Great things are happening in our classrooms, and this is an opportunity to celebrate the people making that possible.”
The recognition highlights achievement in core academic subjects during a critical stage in students’ education. Middle school helps students strengthen the knowledge, confidence, and habits they will carry into high school and beyond.
