BOARD MEMBERS AT LARGE


Picture

ELIZABETH WARD - Board Member at Large, SAB Liaison, Communications Team

I volunteer with the Ed Foundation because I enjoy it!  I believe that all the students in our district deserve to have the best possible experience in high school, and volunteering my time with organizations that support this goal is one of the best ways to make it happen!

​My own parents cheerfully volunteered for a variety of causes they believed in, and I want my children to see that there is value in doing work for its own sake, without the need for extrinsic reward or public recognition.

RUCHI SARAN - Board Member at Large, Communications Chair

Empathy is one of the most important values to be successful and happy in life, and to empathize and work with students who are our future leaders makes it more significant and meaningful to me - and what better place than an Education Foundation to be that change? The EF is an important part of the district, as it works not just with students, but parents and teachers also. The Foundation makes an effort to understand their needs and support them all in any which way. After all it does take a village to raise a child.

N. ANTONOPOULOS - Communications Team

I'm a proud team member of the CUHSD Ed Foundation and was a communications team member on the Measure AA Campaign Committee with the Founders.  I'm here because I want the most enriching education for my children - one that goes beyond theory, builds character, develops life skills and empowers future leaders. Volunteering my time to achieve this is the best gift I can give my children.

ELISABETH HALLIDAY - CUHSD Board Liaison

I am a parent of twins who attend Westmont High School, and have worked and volunteered at my children's schools since they were in preschool. I care deeply about our schools and students, and am a strong advocate for students who have IEPs, 504 plans, and other students who need extra support. I believe that every student deserves the best educational opportunities in a safe, nurturing, and welcoming environment. Serving on the CUHSD Board is a great honor, and I am delighted to be the Ed Foundation's District Board Liaison.
