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.

“I was given the opportunity to work alongside Dr. Mafi in her mentoring program, as well as participate in College Boost. Through these two programs I found my passion in working in education and was later given the chance to work as college worker with Jordan Intermediate's assistant principal. My favorite thing about GGUSD is the dedication to giving back to the community and Dr. Mafi's desire to provide our students with necessary tools they need in order to be successful in their future endeavors.”
