Alyson is excited for her new role and to return to the community that helped shape her into the person she is today. Alyson stated, “I’m excited to partner in building a team that is focused on creating a culture of excellence through industry-based lab schools.
The students and community of Madera deserve nothing less than the best!” She is committed to working collectively to build culture and curriculum to produce students who can think, collaborate, produce, adapt, communicate and contribute. The district motto “We Believe” will be a standard mindset on campus for students, staff and community partners. Alyson shared, “We are excited to support students in becoming college and career ready.”
Alyson is supported by Bobby, her husband of ten years, and daughters Capri and Brielle. They are committed as a family to not only meet, but hopefully exceed, the expectations the community has for this innovative and cutting-edge approach to education. Madera Unified welcomes
Alyson into the We Believe Community.
