Garden Grove honors GGUSD accomplishments and proclaims Korean American Day
Summary
Council spotlighted Garden Grove Unified School District's 60th anniversary and multiple awards, and adopted a proclamation recognizing Jan. 13, 2026, as Korean American Day in Garden Grove.
The Garden Grove City Council used its Jan. 13 meeting to formally recognize the Garden Grove Unified School District's recent achievements and to adopt a proclamation marking Jan. 13, 2026, as Korean American Day.
Assistant City Manager Matt West read a community spotlight listing multiple recognitions for GGUSD, including AP honor-school acknowledgements for all seven comprehensive high schools, California distinguished-school designations, and the district's receipt of state grant funding (the reading references $32,300,000 in state grants supporting 22 community schools).
Board president Bob Hardin and other trustees accepted the city's recognition. A representative accepting the Korean American Day proclamation thanked the council for the acknowledgement and the city's support of the local Korean-American community.
Mayor and councilmembers commended GGUSD's partnership with the city and congratulated students, teachers and staff. The proclamation passed as part of the consent calendar actions.
Next steps: the city presented certificates of recognition and will continue collaborating with GGUSD on education and community outreach efforts.
