Congratulations Jessica Guerrero!
Anaheim Union High School District

Against all odds, Jessica, a first-time candidate & a lifelong resident of Anaheim, was successful in her campaign for Anaheim Union High School District, Area 1. Jessica is was born and raised in the very district she is now representing. She understands first-hand, how AUHSD can work with parents, teachers & the community to achieve success for all students.
