Teacher of the Year
Anthony Segura
Rose Salgado Elementary School
San Jacinto Unified School District
Anthony Segura creates a classroom where every child is seen, valued, and given the opportunity to succeed. In his inclusive preschool classroom, routines, relationships, and intentional supports come together to ensure that students of all abilities feel a true sense of belonging from the moment they walk through the door. Through thoughtful instruction and a deep commitment to social-emotional development, Anthony helps students build the skills they need to communicate, connect, and grow. His work is especially impactful for students with diverse learning needs, where patience, consistency, and care create meaningful progress over time. Moments of growth, whether a student using their words for the first time or forming new friendships, are at the heart of his work. Anthony’s classroom is more than a place of learning; it is a foundation where confidence is built, voices are strengthened, and every child is empowered to thrive.
