LAGUNA BEACH, Calif. — The Laguna Beach Unified School District Board of Education voted Tuesday unanimously to approve the appointment of Dr. Elisabeth "Betsy" Kannenberg as Director of Assessment and Accountability. Dr. Kannenberg was selected from a candidate pool of highly qualified applicants.

Two hundred and forty Laguna Beach High School (LBHS) students will walk across Laguna Beach High School’s Guyer Field on Thursday, June 10, 2021, to receive their high school diplomas. The ceremony will begin at seven o’clock in the evening.

Laguna Beach Unified is thrilled to have graduating seniors and their families come together to celebrate the successes and achievements of the Class of 2021. These students have navigated their senior year during a pandemic and have grown into strong, resilient individuals ready to conquer their future endeavors. As our graduates move on from LBHS, we are proud to see them continuing to CSUs, UCs, private schools, community colleges, out-of-state colleges, international universities, trade schools, Military, and chasing after their dreams.

We invited the Laguna Beach Unified stakeholders to view a panel discussion exploring relationships in our community. Panelists included students, teachers, parents, administrators, and superintendent Dr. Viloria. This event was supported by the middle and high school Challenge Success Teams, the LBHS Challenge Success Club and PTA Coffee Talk.
