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.

Dana is a Vietnamese Language teacher at Santiago High School. She attended Woodbury Elementary School, Irvine Intermediate School, and graduated from Bolsa Grande High School in 2002.
“GGUSD has always been my dream district. I've had excellent teachers growing up so I knew GGUSD was very selective with their teachers and I've heard nothing but awesome things about the district. I love that GGUSD equips teachers with the best professional development. We go into the classroom well prepared with numerous teaching strategies and skills under our belt. I love that we thrive as a district. Our students love going to school because they can tell that we love teaching them."
If you're a homegrown GGUSD employee,
please take a moment to fill out a brief survey to share your story and save the date for our "GGUSD Homegrown Spring Celebration" on April 26, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Garden Grove Community Center.
