Dear Charter Oak Community,
As we close out the 2024–2025 school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey we’ve shared and to thank you for making my first term as Superintendent so rewarding.
From the classrooms to the boardroom, from performances to playoffs, this has been a year of progress, pride, and partnership. I’m inspired daily by the commitment of our teachers and staff, the support of our families, and the hard work and heart of our students.

- Celebrating nearly 100 seniors committing to four-year universities, reflecting their dedication to higher education
- Being honored with the Cabinet Member of the Year Award in Student Services by the Los Angeles County Office of Education
