A Lifelong Educator
​Mia graduated in 1976 from San Gorgonio High School, where she was a formidable competitor in speech and debate. She attended college at Cal State San Bernardino, graduating in 1980 with a degree in liberal studies and a teaching credential. After college, Mia worked as a counselor for troubled youth in the juvenile court system. After college, Mia served as an educator for the San Bernardino City School District and for her own family.​​
Legacy
Mia, a devoted Catholic, was the definition of selfless love. She cared more for others than she cared about herself. We hope that the recipient of this award will use it to carry on Mia's legacy of selflessness, service, and excellence.

Mission

​The value of education can never be overstated.  For almost all who engage in the process of education, the rewards are manifest; the most obvious and easily measurable being economic advancement.  A bit less obvious and certainly more difficult to measure is the larger societal benefit of an educated citizenry.  In 21st century America, we take these benefits to be understood by most and available to all. But the availability of education doesn’t mean that everyone embraces the opportunity.  Our mission at the Brancati Foundation is to support educators and students who might not otherwise have the possibility of education working its wonders. ​
