Graves Middle School Principal Mr. Hernandez presented the school's latest performance overview to the South Whittier School District Board on Jan. 20, 2026, citing California Dashboard data that compared 2025 results with 2024 to identify progress and areas needing improvement. He also recognized the ASB Leadership team and advisors for their contributions to campus culture.
"ASB supports the district's mission by fostering leadership, responsibility, and teamwork, helping to create a safe, inclusive, and connected school environment," Mr. Hernandez told the Board. The minutes list ASB leaders by name: Melanie Urbano (ASB President), Charles Wisdom (ASB Vice President), Jessica De La Cruz (ASB Treasurer), Destiney Olan (ASB Secretary), Ariel Casas (ASB Historian), and SSC/Community Schools representatives Priscilla Alvarez and Luna Garcia. School staff advisers Monique Lopez and Francys Ugrate were also recognized.
