SAN DIEGO, CA (May 1, 2017) — Glenn Jacobson, a teacher at Thrive Public Schools, has been recognized through the SDCCU® Classroom Heroes program. Jacobson is a teacher at the 54th Street Campus of Thrive Public Schools, an award-winning group of free public charter schools, K-12, serving students from all over San Diego County.
Jacobson was nominated by a parent of one of his students who explained that “Mr. Glenn has helped transform my child’s world through his teaching and classroom interactions.
