Congratulations to the WVCBA's Educator of the Month Ian McGuire, Computer Programming Teacher at ACE Charter High School! Ian was recognized on April 13 in a ceremony at the school with his family and colleagues present.
An educator for 15 years, Ian also teaches math part-time at Oxnard College and volunteered at Ventura County Office of Education's Hackaton by the Sea events. On April 15, the Class of 2022 Oxnard Leadership Program visited some of the city's hidden gems with local historian Jeff Maulhardt, Director of the Oxnard Historic Farm Park. The group visited the Farm Park (home to two of the city's oldest structures), the site of the original sugar beet factory built in the 1890s by Henry T. Oxnard, and Heritage Square, where docent Tom Von Allmen led their private tour. The group ended the day relaxing at 1901 Speakeasy, the unique bar located in the basement of one of the square's historic homes.
