Our Choice for EUHSD.
Dear Escondido Voters,
​
It has been an incredible honor to serve you and the children of Escondido as your Trustee on the Escondido Union High School District Board of Education.
​
When I joined the board in 2013, I delivered the following message in my speech to the fellow board members. While a lot has changed in the 11 years since that speech, my purpose, passion, and commitment to serving Escondido is unwavering:
​
“I am that girl who 20 years later has a compelling desire to give back to the same district that helped me believe in myself and prepare me for a world full of possibilities and hope. While I may not have the same background as many of you in this room tonight, I am a shining example of this district and the exceptional work you are doing for countless students who walk through the doors every morning. This Board values innovation and 21st century learning so that every student will reach their full potential. I am here to say thank you and to ask for the opportunity to have a seat at the table so that I may serve."
​
I have served the Escondido community from a strong foundation grounded with integrity and love. I have done my absolute best to be an honorable board member for all of Escondido. I have learned a lot, our city has grown a lot, and we have been able to accomplish some wonderful things for the kids in our community. While we certainly have challenging times ahead of us, I have a lot of hope for our future and for the next generation. I would be honored to have your vote to continue to serve this community that I love.
Christi's Plan for Escondido Schools
Schools have an incredible responsibility to prepare students for college, career, and life. For students of the Escondido Union High School District, there will be multiple pathways to success. As a district, it is our responsibility to understand and cultivate the goals of each student, and their family, so we can support opportunities for college preparedness, experiential learning, and career technical education....
