The California Distinguished Schools Award Program, a state-level recognition for elementary schools, has honoured 323 schools in 2020. Among these, two schools from the ABC Unified School District (ABCUSD) have been recognised for their outstanding educational achievements.

Dr. Mary Sieu, Superintendent of ABCUSD, announced the new principal appointments and assignments for the 2016-17 school year, which included the appointment of John Briquelet as the Principal of Whitney High School in Cerritos.

Whitney High School was not previously known to have Briquelet as a current employee before this appointment. The new principal assignment for Briquelet is effective from the 2016-17 school year.

The California Distinguished Schools Award Program recognises outstanding education programmes, practices, and exceptional student performance. It also honours schools for closing the achievement gap. However, the exact names of the two ABCUSD schools that were named as 2020 California Distinguished Schools were not specified in the article.

Meanwhile, in a separate event, The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump GOP group, released an Election Day ad featuring Martin Sheen. The specific details of the ad were not specified in the article, but it urged voters to take part in "one last push to get the train back on its tracks." Martin Sheen, famously known for his role as President Josiah Bartlet on "The West Wing," lent his voice to the ad.

Despite the recognition for the ABCUSD schools and the political ad by The Lincoln Project, there are no search results indicating which schools from the district were named California Distinguished Schools in 2020. The honourees for the 2020 California Distinguished Schools are yet to be fully identified.

As the new principal of Whitney High School, John Briquelet is expected to lead the school in its continued pursuit of educational excellence and closing the achievement gap. The community looks forward to his leadership and the continued success of Whitney High School.
