“Burbank Unified School District is home to a large and growing Armenian student body. We wanted to not only introduce ourselves to the new superintendent, but also to assure him and all the students and teachers of BUSD that our organization will be there to assist them with any challenges that come with growth, especially in this critical period when many educational programs and related jobs are in jeopardy,” said Aghakhanian.

Later, he became the Superintendent of Dinuba Unified School District in Central California where he served for seven years and the Superintendent of Visalia Unified School District in Central California, where he served for ten years.
“I have enjoyed my work so far in Burbank Unified School District. I have found our schools to be led by outstanding principals and our children to be taught and cared for by talented teachers and support staff. The community of Burbank has been very welcoming and shares the traditions and core values that are closest to my heart. I appreciate the richness of our diversity and the tremendous support from our Armenian community, families, and the ANCA—Burbank!” said Superintendent Carrizosa.
