School Board Leadership

After decades of broken promises and failing to build the much needed 6th High School, I ran for the Roseville Joint Union High School Board with a commitment to getting the school built, establishing a Wellness Program in each school, and ensuring the District is fiscally sound.

I have delivered on those promises – West Park High School is serving our families today!
