Jonathan Pongco

Congrats to Mrs. Mull and EMTV who earned 1st Place in the Post High School PSA category.

Congratulations to Mrs. Vicki Mull for once again representing El Modena and our outstanding Video Production Program (EMTV). 

The Elks National Drug Awareness Program is the largest all volunteer drug awareness program in the United States. Since 1982, the Elks have developed an effective, community-based drug prevention program by partnering with federal agencies, including the Drug Enforcement Agency, Office of National Drug Control Policy, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, and national organizations such as Pride Youth Programs. These partnerships ensure the Elks Drug Awareness Program addresses the leading drug abuse issues facing communities today. Over the past six years, Orange Lodge #1475 has the most local, district, state, and national video winners of any lodge in the nation for all categories - Middle School, High School, and Post High School - from nearly 2,000 lodges and 15,000 school districts. All of these winners have been entries from OUSD.

Here are a list of OUSD winners:

Elmo's April 2021 EDGE Coin Recipients

We are excited to announce the awarding of an EDGE coin for our campus security staff.  

In recognition of their EDGE Leadership, El Modena High School recognizes our campus security team (Alex Lemus, Bill Fallon, Ed Covarubbius, Liddy Soto, and Sean Fryer) as true EDGE leaders.  Through our pandemic, campus security helped to ensure our campus remaining open to facilitate needed resources for our students and families.  They prepared our campus for the safe arrival and occupancy of students and staff.  Each day, they embody the qualities of Equity, Integrity, Respect and Excellence as they interact with and support students and staff members to create and maintain a safe, welcoming environment.  We thank them for all they do.
