Azusa Unified honors athletes, artists and managers of the year
Summary
The board recognized student athletics and arts achievements — league MVP, first-team all-league athletes, CIF qualifiers and Congressional Art Contest winners — and presented Manager of the Year awards to three district leaders.
The Azusa Unified School District Board of Education used its June 16 meeting to recognize a series of student and staff accomplishments.
Athletics: the board and district staff recognized the Isuza/Azusa High School Mountain View League most valuable player and read certificates honoring eight student athletes selected first-team all-league (names were read aloud). Coaches and board members praised students’ dedication to sport and academics; wrestling coach Alberto Fuentes described program growth from 12 to 41 participants this year.
Arts: art teacher Mr. O’Brien introduced district winners in the 31st Congressional Art Contest, including Cassidy Nord (first place; her piece will hang in the U.S. Capitol and she received a $1,000 scholarship), Janette Guzman (judge’s choice) and Jasmine Franco (district finalist and honorable mention). Board members and the presenter highlighted that entries are juried anonymously.
Staff recognitions: the district announced Manager of the Year honorees across site and district leadership: Marcela Fana (site administrators), Ryan Ward (educational services) and Angelica/Leica Huarez (district communications). Community partners presented small monetary awards and plaques; Ms. Huarez described the communications role as telling the district’s collective story and thanked colleagues for their support.
These recognitions occupied the early portion of the agenda and drew congratulatory remarks from trustees and short acceptance comments from honorees. Photo opportunities and certificates followed each recognition.
