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.

Tammy Starr is #GGUSDHomegrown.
Tammy attended Gilbert Elementary and graduated from Rancho Alamitos High School in 1977. She is currently a buyer in Business Services.
“I always wanted to be the secretary at Gilbert, Poppy Allen was always so kind and caring when we had to go to the office, it left a lasting impression. I Started at Eisenhower with Barb Batson as a School Office Clerk for 3 years (what an amazing experience), then went over to La Quinta as a School Office Clerk II and then I landed my dream job at Irvine Intermediate as the site secretary - best years of my life!”
She has been with the district for 21 years.
