Congratulations to SGUSD's Denise Ledesma, who was named 2026 Los Angeles County School Social Worker of the Year by Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE), recognizing her extraordinary dedication to supporting students and families across our District.
For nearly a decade, Denise has served as SGUSD's sole District Social Worker, providing individual and group counseling to K–12 students and helping connect families with essential resources. At Del Mar High School, she has also played a key role in building community partnerships that have brought a wellness center and districtwide food pantry to our school community.
With more than 15 years of experience in social services, Denise has made a lasting difference through her compassion, expertise, and commitment to ensuring students have the support they need to thrive.
Please join us in congratulating Denise on this well-deserved countywide honor! We are incredibly fortunate to have her as part of the SGUSD family!
