On May 28, the Harrisonburg Education Foundation held our annual "Breakfast of Champions" at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, where we honored the Educators of the Year from each of the six city schools, as well as the Retired Outstanding Teacher for 2008. 

In addition, the HEF awarded five scholarships to graduating HHS seniors.  Please visit our scholarships page for this year's winners.

Congratulations to the Educators of the Year for 2008!
