Student Leadership Awards Program
Eight high school students in the Orange Unified School district are scholarship recipients of The
Irvine Company's 2007 Student Leadership Awards Program. They were selected because of their
significant accomplishments, outstanding leadership skills and for their potential to make a
difference in their community.
The Student Leadership Awards Program recognizes seniors from 16 high schools in the Irvine,
Laguna Beach, Newport-Mesa, Orange and Tustin unified school districts.
They are each competing for $120,000 in
scholarship grants.
Each of the 32 student leaders received $2,500 in scholarship funds. Daniel Herrador from
Villa Park High School was among four finalists who each received a $10,000 scholarship..
The students from OUSD include: Megan Cunningham and Andrew Le from Canyon High School,
Raymond Lapena and Crystal Saucedo from El Modena High School, Paul Pham and
Mai Khanh Tran from Orange High School, and Daniel Herrador and Annette Rice
from Villa Park High School.
"The Student Leadership Awards Program is unlike other scholarship programs because
it recognizes students for their leadership accomplishment and potential, not just
for their grades or athletic ability," says Robin Leftwich, Vice President,
Community Affairs for The Irvine Company. "Strong leadership is essential to helping
shape and make a difference in our community and nation. We salute all of our
future leaders for their hard work and inspiration."

Exploring Ecosystems at Limestone Canyon · The Outdoor Classroom
Each year, hundreds of seventh-graders from Santiago Charter Middle School in Orange participate in "Exploring Ecosystems at Limestone Canyon." Co-sponsored by The Irvine Company, The Nature Conservancy, UC Irvine, the Orange County Department of Education, and the middle school, lessons are brought to life for students through a fun, field study program. The goal of developing the program was to not only educate students about different ecosystems, but to also inform students, schools and the community about the important resources on The Irvine Ranch®.
