ORANGE, Calif., March 6, 2020 – The Orange Unified School District celebrated Principal for a Day throughout its campuses to foster relationships within the community and to share the outstanding work of OUSD teachers, students, and staff. The event partners a business leader or community member with a school principal and allows the participant an opportunity to observe a glimpse of a principal’s daily responsibilities.
A brief reception was hosted by the District Office, which included opening remarks by Superintendent Gunn Marie Hansen, Ph.D.
The District is pleased to offer this program and wishes to thank the following business and community leaders for their participation in the Principal for a Day program:
