Students in Gabriela Pierce’s advanced applied arts class at Buena Park Middle School have learned to take care of their newly-renovated workspace, a giant warehouse shop with state-of-the-art equipment and rows of tape measures and sanders.

A Message From Our Superintendent
Dear Buena Park Families,
It is an honor and a privilege to share with you a little about Leticia Zaragoza, the secretary for our Technology and Operations department who was recently awarded Buena Park School District's 2026 Classified Employee of the Year. Letty offers a steady presence wherever she goes, calm and measured, ever-willing to take on challenges and develop new skills. She just earned a BS in Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEM) and is working toward an MS in Leadership with an emphasis in HSEM, which is perfect timing as we launch our comprehensive school safety initiative. Her leadership in this area has been invaluable, and her organization, attention to detail, and follow-through mean that nothing gets missed....
