Superintendent's Message

Dear BOUSD Families,

As we come to the end of the 2024-25 school year, I want to take a moment to celebrate the hard work, growth, and achievements that have defined this incredible year. Many of our BOHS Athletics programs earned league titles and set new records; Olinda Elementary was named a California Distinguished School; BOHS was designated as a Unified Champion School through Special Olympics; Brea Junior High's Instrumental Music program was awarded one of the highest honors - the Esprit de Corps Award; and our Brea community approved the first school bond measure in more than 20 years. These accomplishments not only highlight our remarkable students, staff, and community, but also the outstanding and supportive culture that lives in our district. 

Today, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all our students, and especially the graduating Class of 2025. You’ve reached an important milestone, and we are so proud of the resilience, determination, and character you’ve shown throughout your journey in BOUSD.

To our dedicated teachers, staff, and administrators—thank you for your unwavering commitment to creating safe, supportive, and engaging learning environments for our students. Your efforts have made a lasting impact, and your role in shaping our students’ futures cannot be overstated.

As we look ahead to the 2025–26 school year, I’m filled with excitement for what’s to come. We will continue building on the strong foundation we’ve established—expanding academic opportunities, enhancing student wellness, and strengthening partnerships with our families and community. Our district remains focused on ensuring every student is equipped to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

I hope you all enjoy a well-deserved summer break filled with rest, joy, and time with loved ones. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in August, refreshed and ready for another year of learning and growth.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Sincerely,

Brinda C. Leon

Superintendent
