Tonight, El Modena’s Friday Night Live chapter was honored with the 2026 Chapter of Excellence Award at UCI’s Barclay Theatre.

Throughout the year, our FNL students worked hard to create meaningful programs and events for both our campus and the community, including Red Ribbon Week, Media Literacy initiatives, Read Across America, Youth Substance Use Prevention Workshops, and outreach events with local elementary schools.

This recognition reflects the leadership, heart, and dedication of our students and advisor Nicky Clark, who continue to make a positive impact through service, advocacy, and support for others.

Congratulations to our FNL students and Ms. Clark! Your Vanguard family is incredibly proud of you. ❤️

Yesterday, Orange Unified came together at Fred Kelly Stadium to celebrate some truly incredible educators and staff members making a difference every single day.

We are so proud to honor our very own Gabby County as El Modena’s Classified Employee of the Year and celebrate Kristen Mulder as one of OUSD’s Teachers of the Year.

Both of these amazing individuals represent the heart of what it means to be a Vanguard. Their care, dedication, and support for students and staff never go unnoticed, and our campus is better because of them.

Congratulations, Ms. Gabby and Mrs. Mulder! Your Vanguard family is cheering you on today and always. ❤️💛

A day like this reminds you what it means to be a Vanguard.

El Modena showed up strong at the Orange May Day Parade, from our baseball players representing on the Elk’s Lodge float to Carter Pilón and Skylar Schreck being recognized as Kiwanis Scholarship recipients.

We were proud to celebrate Kristen Mulder, OUSD Teacher of the Year, alongside board members Dr. Sierra Vane, Dr. Stephen Glass, Andrea Yamasaki, and Matthew Thomas on the horse-drawn carriage, while our marching band brought the energy performing with the Orange Unified School District band.

From start to finish, it was all pride, tradition, and community.

Our Vanguards showed up with heart at this year’s Olympiad Games.

This event brought together students from across the district for a day full of joy, competition, and connection. From every race to every cheer, it was all about celebrating effort, inclusion, and community.

A huge thank you to the staff and volunteers who made this experience possible. You created a space where every student could shine.

Proud to be part of something bigger. That’s Vanguard spirit.

Vanessa Hernandez is this year’s Senior Resilience Award recipient, and this morning we had the chance to celebrate her alongside her mom and grandma.
