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.

Yvette Flores is #GGUSDHomeGrown
Yvette is a school counselor at Los Amigos High School. She attended Hazard Elementary School , Irvine Intermediate School, and graduated from Santiago High School in 2000.
“I wanted to give back to the community in which I was raised, and still currently live in a way that empowers the community to recognize their resilience and improve their circumstances, all while being proud of where they are from. I love many things about GGUSD, however, my favorite thing is the commitment to student growth and learning. My mom and sisters are products of GGUSD and my daughter attends Monroe Language Academy.”
Yvette has been working in GGUSD for three years.
