CHANDLER — Rep. David Lujan, D-Dist. 15 and Rep. Mark Anderson, R-Dist. 18 were honored last week for their outstanding contributions to public education at a luncheon hosted by the Arizona School Public Relations Association (ASPRA).

“At the heart of every school district, there is one underlying theme that is prevalent — to adequately prepare students to be successful in their lives and to reach their highest potential. Alhambra School District is extremely proud to see this happen time and time again, but it is especially gratifying to see a former student serving Arizona’s constituents in the Arizona Legislature,” said Superintendent Jim Rice.
