Mrs. Juanita Alvarez, Secretary, proudly serving her 16th year, and is retired from Camino Real Community Services as a Work Center Supervisor. She now enjoys operating her small business, Juanita’s Party Trays. Over the many years that the people of this district have honored me with the privilege of representing them on the school board, I have learned countless lessons. Yet, in this ever-changing world, I continue to grow and learn each year. One thing that has remained constant is the importance of providing a quality education for our students—who are, indeed, our future. A quality education serves as the foundation for those pursuing higher education and as a springboard for everyone striving to excel as adults and valuable members of their communities. In addition, assisting and supporting all staff is important. "Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or at eighty." - Henry Ford
