On March 29th, 2026, teachers, administrators, business leaders, and friends will gather to present awards to our Teachers of the Year and honor all of Santa Rosa County’s outstanding educators. The Golden Apple Awards event will be held at The Saenger Theatre and continues the tradition of leaving educators feeling respected, honored, and rejuvenated. Last year, over 500 community members attended this uplifting event and with our growing educator family, expect an even larger audience this year.

The Santa Rosa Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation established in 1987 through the Florida Legislature as a direct support organization for the Santa Rosa School District. The Foundation is committed to supporting and implementing programs and activities which promote Santa Rosa School Board objectives.

We represent an additional link between the school system and the community as a way to invest in education, a concerned public response to high priority school needs, and a way to recognize that all citizens have a stake in their public schools. The Santa Rosa Education Foundation is administered by a board of directors made up of business, education, and community leaders.
