Ana Page, Orange Unified School Board Member

Thank you for welcoming my students! They thoroughly enjoyed engaging with our students!

Huge thanks to Trustee Martinez Goodlander and the incredible students from Chapman University for making our Inaugural District-Wide Science Fair a success! 🧪✨

We truly appreciate the time and energy you poured into supporting our young scientists. From helping with setup to engaging with the students, your volunteer spirit made the night run smoothly and kept the vibes high! 🧡

Community partnerships like this are the heartbeat of our district. We couldn’t have done it without you! 🧬🏆

Orange County is investing $75K to jump-start a childcare incubator. Will it work? First 5 Orange County was recently awarded $75,000 from O.C. Supervisor Vicente Sarmiento.

I had the opportunity to attend the incredible student production of Out of Sight…Out of Murder at Orange High School, and I am so proud of the talent, creativity, and dedication of our students and educators.
From the acting to the production design, this performance showcased the power of the arts in bringing learning to life. Our Performing Arts programs continue to create spaces where students can express themselves, build confidence, and collaborate in meaningful ways.

Thank you to the Panther Playhouse, Dr. Rivas, and all the students who made this show such a success. Opportunities like this remind us why investing in arts education matters for every child.

If you haven’t had a chance to support our student performers, I encourage you to attend future productions—you won’t be disappointed!

What an unforgettable night at Fred Kelly Stadium! Superintendent Monárrez and I joined our Cabinet to cheer on Villa Park. We also had the chance to visit with Caitlyn, our amazing student representative from VP, who was out there performing in the rain with so much heart. That’s true Spartan spirit!
Even with the weather pouring down, the team stayed focused and powered through with a 30–6 win over Great Oak, securing their first trip to the CIF-SS Division 4 semifinals since 2018. The defense set the tone all night, forcing big turnovers and keeping the momentum strong.
Next week, the semifinals come HOME: Villa Park will host San Jacinto, following their close win over top-seeded Charter Oak.
Proud of our student-athletes, performers, coaches, and the entire Spartan community. Onward, Spartans!

Our incredible Student Representatives spent the day preparing for the upcoming Board Meeting and getting a behind-the-scenes look at how our district runs!

They toured our Transportation Services, where just four skilled mechanics maintain over 150 vehicles, ensuring our students get to and from school safely every day.

They also visited our Central Kitchen, where the dedicated Nutrition Services team prepares over 10,000 meals daily for students across Orange Unified.

It’s inspiring to see our student leaders learning how every department works together to support student success!

🖤💙Once a Spartan, always a Spartan!💙🖤
Honored to celebrate our 20-year reunion and revisit the roots that shaped us Principal Dennis McCuistion welcomed us back with a tour of campus, highlighting the incredible renovations and growth since 2005. Grateful for the chance to reconnect with my fellow Spartans and reflect on how far our community has come.
