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.
Bridget Lockhart
Bridget Lockhart is GGUSD Homegrown.
Bridget is an English teacher and Assistant ASB Director at Rancho Alamitos. She attended Hill Elementary, Jordan Intermediate, and graduated from Bolsa Grande High in 1992.
“I wanted to teach in the community I grew up in. I had really positive experiences at each of my schools. I was lucky enough to have a few teachers who really influenced me when I was student and they are the reasons I wanted to become a teacher...and then they became my colleagues. Also, I love the diversity of the district. We have the potential to foster respect, acceptance, and love of different cultures by embracing the varying perspectives of people of our community.” Bridget is in her 19th year as a teacher in GGUSD.
