Co-sponsored by California Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye and California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson, the Civic Learning Award for California public schools identifies and celebrates civic learning models that can be replicated in other schools.

In 2015, the Civic Learning Awards honored elementary and middle schools that offer top quality civic learning and can serve as a model for other schools to emulate.
