Principal's Weekly Update #226

Congratulations Go to Rey Lejano – Economics teacher, Varsity Tennis Coach and sponsor of “The YLHS Olympics”. Last Tuesday evening at Disneyland Hotel, Rey and 62 other Orange County teachers were recognized as OCDE Top Educators for 2016-17.

Sixty-three superstar educators from Orange County school districts and community colleges were honored at a special evening dinner celebration. “Each year, the Orange County Department of Education and its community partners proudly honor those educators who go above and beyond to nurture, inspire and equip future generations,” said Orange County Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Al Mijares. “Though many shy away from recognition, these exceptional leaders are responsible for elevating the teaching profession and their contributions go far beyond imparting knowledge. These teachers CONNECT with students.” Congratulations, Mr. Lejano! YLHS is very proud of you and we all say – THANK YOU for all you do for our Mustang family!!!

It was a HUGE success for Thomas, Ms. Fritz and the Commercial Art class!! Congratulations!
