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.

Amanda Mulvey is #GGUSDHomegrown.
Amanda attended Enders Elementary, Bell Intermediate, and Pacifica High School. She is now a special education TOSA in the Induction office.
“I came back to the district when working on my credential and completed my fieldwork and student teaching in various classrooms throughout the district. I have loved every moment in this district, from when I was a student and now as an employee. I decided to return to this district as a teacher because I had fabulous teachers growing up (some of whom I had the opportunity to have as colleagues after becoming a teacher). Many of them left a lasting impression and influenced my own teaching practice. I feel so incredibly lucky to remain connected to the district for so long. I love the high quality of instruction that this district provides and the level of support that is given to teachers. I am excited that my oldest child will also get to experience the great education that GGUSD has to offer when beginning in the district next year.”
