The Garden Grove Unified School District Board of Education voted unanimously to rename Rosita Elementary School to Frank and Irene Palomino Elementary School. - The renaming honors the Palomino family's role in the Mendez et al.
case against school segregation. - Trustee Walter Muneton highlighted the educational opportunity to teach future generations about courage and equality.
- The district plans a ribbon-cutting ceremony to commemorate the new name. This change celebrates local civil rights history and ensures the Palomino legacy continues to inspire students.
