The ceremony included honored guests such as Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD) Board of Education Clerk Leandra Blades as well as Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD) Superintendent, Dr. Jim Elsasser, Assistant Superintendents, David Giordano and Rick Lopez, Directors Gina Aguilar and Olivia Yaung, and Principal Dr. Richard Dinh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
