  • Next, we have Kenneth Grossman, 2000 California Community College Distinguished Alumni Award Winner and @buttecollege alum. Ken established Sierra Nevada back in 1980 when he first showed his friend the basics of homebrewing beer. He began brewing five-gallon batches of beer on his own and quickly became a proficient homebrewer. In 1976, Ken opened his own store, The Home Brew Shop, and, soon after, began building a small brewery in the town of Chico, California. Today, @sierranevada is considered one of the premier craft breweries in the United States. The League has recognized the distinguished alumni of @californiacommunitycolleges since 1964.

  • Its #CCMonth and all week we're highlighting California Community Colleges Distinguished Alumni Award Winners... up next is Joe Morgan, professional #baseball player and @merrittcollegeofficial alum. Born in Texas and raised in Oakland, California, Joe Morgan signed with the Houston Colt .45s in 1962. He emerged as one of the top players in baseball in the 1970s, winning consecutive NL MVP Awards and World Series.

Morgan became a broadcaster after his playing career ended in 1984, and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1990.

In 1974, Mr. Escalante was hired as a basic mathematics teacher at Garfield High School, a troubled inner-city school in East Los Angeles. His spectacular success teaching advanced mathematics to gang members and other students who had been considered “unteachable” attracted national attention. When his story was told in the acclaimed film “Stand and Deliver” (1988), Escalante became a national hero.
