Montebello Sister City Association
Montebello & Ashiya
Past Ambassadors
Montebello and Ashiya have been exchanging students since 1964, starting with Tsukiko Masuda & Haruko Fukunaka and Tom Johnson & Ed Hamby. This tradition has continued throughout the years, with Reina Kon & Sosuke Kawakami and Stephanie Gonzales & Cristian Herrera serving as our 2015 student ambassadors. This tradition has continued for over 51 years, with the exception of 1995, due to Hanshin Earthquake.
