I have known Katcho Achadjian for more than 35 years. Katcho attended Cuesta Community College and Cal Poly. He graduated from Cal Poly with a business degree. As our county supervisor for the last 11—and soon to be 12—years, he has done so much for our youth and public education.
Katcho’s accomplishments include providing Oceano with a community library, restoring the DARE vehicle for the Arroyo Grande Police Department, assisting with the founding of Nipomo High School, and the Clark Performing Arts Center at Arroyo Grande High School. Katcho serves on the Orfalea College of Business leadership council for Cal Poly. He is a founding member of the health care committee that works to ensure that all children in San Luis Obispo County receive the treatment and support needed to reach their highest level of growth and development.
Katcho Achadjian was placed on the Wall of Fame for the Lucia Mar Unified School District, becoming the only elected official to receive that honor. K.H. Achadjian will be an excellent representative for the 33rd Assembly District. I am honored that I have worked with such a fine individual!
