GLENDALE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARD

On May 25, 2004, His Eminence Archbishop Hovnan Derderian, Primate of
the Western Diocese of the Armenian Church of North America, attended
the installation ceremony of Mr. Greg Krikorian as the first Armenian
President of the Glendale Unified School District Board. The ceremony
took place at the Glendale Unified School District Headquarters
in Glendale.

During the ceremony His Eminence congratulated Mr. Krikorian on
his new assignments and commended him for his role in bringing
about awareness for Armenian issues. Recently, the Glendale Unified
School District Board acknowledged January 6th as the Epiphany. The
Primate said, “It is certainly an immense joy to witness a son of
the Armenian Apostolic Church and the nation to be elevated to such
a prestigious and responsible position. Therefore we extend our most
sincere appreciation and best wishes to our newly elected president
of the Glendale Unified School District Board. May the good Lord lead
your steps toward the well being of the students.”
