In a bold and heartfelt initiative, Board of Education President Rachelle Marcus launches Mrs. Marcus Meets, a new video series celebrating the dedicated educators and staff who embody BHUSD's commitment to excellence, integrity, and community.

This week, Beverly Hills Unified continued to prove that strong local leadership can make a meaningful impact with the launch of Mrs. Marcus Meets, a video series spearheaded by Board of Education President Mrs. Rachelle Marcus. This thoughtful initiative aims to highlight the people who uphold the district’s proud tradition of educational excellence, responsibility, and community care.

In each episode, Mrs. Marcus personally visits a different BHUSD campus to meet the unsung heroes of education—the teachers, aides, custodians, and support staff who serve as the backbone of daily school life. Their efforts often go unnoticed, yet they are central to the district's mission of nurturing student achievement, safety, and emotional wellness.

The series debuted at the May 27 Board of Education meeting with a moving spotlight on Dr. Fred Pinto, the Musical Theatre teacher at Beverly Vista Middle School. His commitment to the performing arts reflects the BVMS motto: Unleashing Every Learner’s Potential. Dr. Pinto’s blend of creativity, energy, and care is a shining example of how BHUSD educators bring learning to life in meaningful and memorable ways.

“There are so many people in our district who make a real difference every day, but not everyone knows who they are,” said Board President Rachelle Marcus. “This series is about introducing our community to the people who make BHUSD such a special place.”


By placing the spotlight on those who often work quietly behind the scenes, Mrs. Marcus is reinforcing a key conservative principle: that strong communities are built on gratitude, humility, and service. In doing so, she elevates not only the individuals but also the shared values that hold BHUSD together—discipline, excellence, and community spirit.

Future episodes will continue throughout the year, offering families and community members a deeper look at the staff across all BHUSD campuses. It’s an inspiring reminder that leadership is not just about policies—it's about people.

In an age where flashy headlines too often overshadow substance, Mrs. Marcus Meets is a refreshing return to what matters most: honoring those who make a difference, one student at a time.
