Monterey County Board honors staff and schools at June meeting
Summary
The board presented staff recognition for Michelle Ramirez and adopted resolutions celebrating Pacific Grove Community High School and Buena Vista Middle School for state honors. District and school leaders accepted the awards and spoke about programs and results.
The Monterey County Board of Education used part of its June 10 agenda to recognize county staff and celebrate district accomplishments. County staff surprised Michelle Ramirez with a "You Make a Difference" award for her role in continuous improvement and LCAP work; staff highlighted a reported 100% LCAP approval rate across Monterey County LEAs and a marked reduction in technical assistance needs over several years.
The board also presented resolutions honoring Pacific Grove Community High School as a 2026 model continuation high school and Buena Vista Middle School as a 2026 California Distinguished School. District leaders, principals and the county superintendent made brief remarks recognizing staff, students and community partners. The recognitions were received with applause, photos and short acceptance comments from site leaders and district executives.
Why it matters: The awards and recognitions spotlight local school and staff accomplishments, highlighting items the county office tracks — LCAP approvals, continuous improvement and model programs that serve students at risk of falling behind.
What’s next: The board will formalize the resolutions in the minutes and the county office will coordinate the public release and photos for the honorees.
