Byrne, Clark and Rietdorf will join more than two dozen other South Bay educators on Sept. 27 at a Teacher Recognition Celebration presented by the County Office of Education. For more than 40 years, the annual program has recognized the best and the brightest local public school teachers from nearly every grade and subject matter.
