Anna Dickason
Anna worked extremely hard to put together a Health Fair that included an immunization clinic and vision and hearing screening clinic for the Whittier School as well as flu and Covid shots clinic for the community. Students and community members benefited greatly from the Health Fair. We appreciate all the hard work that was put into providing much needed health services for Whittier Community School and the City of Whittier. Thanks, Anna!

Mike Briseno
As gaps appear in our system, our amazing staff step up to fill the void to make sure that student learning is not adversely affected. We have had many folks step up this year and most recently, Mike Briseno. Mike, a Voyage teacher, packed his bags and moved to Whittier to fill in for a teacher that left us suddenly. Anyone who leaves their home at a moment's notice and goes where necessary for kids is a rock star in my book. Thank you Mike!

Doug Penn
I have personally watched Doug Penn do so many things that are above and beyond what normal administrators do. Most recently, Doug has been traveling the district conducting site visits and while there, taking school photos. Doug realized the cost to the district (thousands) and stepped in to provide photography services (for a few hundred), which ultimately redirected funds toward our classrooms. The pictures turned out great - thank you Doug!
