Twenty students from Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD) were honored by the local Garden Grove Masons during a special Public Schools Night awards ceremony on Wednesday, April 25 at 6:00 p.m. Students were recognized for demonstrating determination and remaining dauntless in the face of adversity.
