OUSD Celebrates Principal for a Day
ORANGE, Calif., March 4, 2021 – The Orange Unified School District celebrated Principal for a Day throughout its campuses on Thursday, March 4, 2021. This year’s virtual 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. The purpose of the program is to foster relationships within the community and to share the outstanding work of OUSD teachers, students, and staff.
A virtual event was hosted by the District Office, which included opening remarks by Superintendent Dr. Gunn Marie Hansen.
