Lowell Milken, founder of the Milken Educator Awards, congratulates recipient Alexis Arias. "This is not a lifetime achievement award," he says. "This award is to unleash lifetime achievement. We believe that you have the potential to accomplish even greater things in the future. So, I want to say on behalf of all the students and all of our dignitaries and this entire school district, congratulations and thank you for making education your chosen profession."
“Only when society demonstrates respect for educators will the brightest and most capable students choose it as their profession.” - Lowell Milken
