Orange, CA – September 6, 2017 – Orange Unified would like to congratulate Carole Shelby of El Modena High School as a recipient of the 2017 Yale Educator Award. The Yale Educator Recognition Program recognizes outstanding educators from all over the world who support and inspire their students to perform at high levels and to achieve excellence. Carole is 1 of 58 teachers who were selected to receive the award this year. The 411 nominees of the award, consisting of both teachers and counselors, came from 42 states and 24 countries.
