Inglewood Unified honors varsity boys basketball team and three women leaders during board meeting

The Inglewood Unified School District Board celebrated local achievements at its March 11 meeting, honoring three Women’s History Month recipients and recognizing the Inglewood High School United varsity boys basketball team for its Ocean League championship and CIF postseason play.

Board President Dr. Carlos McGee presented ICU awards to Danielle Guseby, Dr. Yujima Hosea and Kelly Hawkins Davis, thanking them for leadership and community impact. Each recipient offered brief remarks of thanks.

The board, on behalf of the district and county administration, also presented a proclamation to Coach Jason Crowe and the varsity players commemorating the season, a national-level selection for one player and a clutch win called out in the program. Coach Crowe then invited players forward to receive certificates and posed for photos with board members.

Board members used the recognition to highlight students’ academic and athletic achievements and noted that many players also make the honor roll. Trustee Brandon Myers told the audience the program had brought national attention to the city and that at least one player had signed a name-image-and-likeness (NIL) deal with the Jordan brand.

Why it matters: The recognition underscores district priorities in athletics and community partnerships while providing public affirmation for staff and student accomplishments. The board used the occasion to celebrate staff, parents and community contributors who support student success.

Provenance: Presentation and proclamation read by the assistant superintendent of educational services and remarks from Coach Jason Crowe and board members during the March 11 meeting.
