Join us in celebrating our Gundo of the Week, Nicole Adams! At El Segundo High School, Nicole not only teaches art and ceramics, but she also coordinates the yearbook every year. 👏
Here’s what her nominator had to say:
“Ms. Adams is our incredible art teacher at ESHS, who pours her heart into supporting every student who walks into her classroom. She seamlessly juggles four different art courses, often all in the same period, while making sure each learner feels seen, encouraged, and inspired. On top of that, she produces our beautiful yearbook each year, capturing the spirit of our school with an artistic eye and exceptional attention to detail. Her talent, dedication, and effortless sense of style bring so much joy to our campus, even though she rarely gets the recognition she truly deserves. We are so lucky to have her, and our school is better because of her passion and character.”
Thank you for being a valuable part of Team Gundo! 💙
