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.

Sherry Parmenter is #GGUSDHomegrown.
Sherry attended Hazard Elementary School, Peters (when it was an intermediate school), and is a 1973 graduate of Los Amigos High School. She is currently a health assistant at Stanford Elementary.
“I worked at Barker, Lawrence, a short time at Bolsa and then about 24 years at Stanford. I met my husband Alvin at Los Amigos, in the music department. He was in the band and I was in choir. We live in west Garden Grove where all our girls went to Enders, Bell, and Pacifica. I have met so many great friends and coworkers at GGUSD. It's a joy to work in GGUSD.”
Sherry has been a GGUSD employee for 32 years.
