The Garden Grove Unified School District (GGUSD) Board of Education recognized Athletes and Coaches of Character from each of the district’s seven comprehensive high schools at the January 15 Board of Education meeting. The coaches and student athletes represent a wide variety of sports and help develop and enrich GGUSD athletic programs by modeling respect, teamwork, and a winning attitude.
“Each one of these coaches and athletes had an impressive story and it is clear that they are difference makers, not only on their teams but around their campuses as well,” said Walter Muneton, Board of Education Trustee. “They all understand the value of dedication, hard work, and leadership.”
