HOMEGROWN
Homegrown employees are those who attended schools in the district as students before returning to work in the district as employees. The “GGUSD Homegrown” campaign has already garnered interest from nearly 500 employees who shared their stories through an online form. Some of these stories will be spotlighted on the district’s Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram social media accounts.

“The teachers I had really loved their jobs and made school a safe place for me to grow. I want to shout out to Mrs. Waterman (2nd grade) for inspiring imagination and Mr. Sam Lum (GGHS math) for his excellent support and humor while teaching. I love that they are always trying to learn and do new things.”
