Education Support Professionals (ESP) Week is a statewide celebration recognizing the vital contributions of Education Support Professionals in our public schools and universities.

Started in 1975 by PSE, ESP Week honors the essential work ESPs do every day and highlights the strength and value of belonging to a union. This week is an opportunity to show appreciation, build visibility, and celebrate the difference ESPs make in our communities.
