Dear Sequoia Adult School Community,

We are pleased to announce that Cindy Dominguez has been selected as our new Assistant Director of Sequoia Adult School, starting March 15. As many of you know, Cindy joined us as our school counselor this school year.

Cindy is committed to improving student academic success and promoting access to higher education. Her experiences as a counselor, dean, and professional development coordinator have afforded her the leadership skills to facilitate organizational growth. Cindy has spearheaded the design of robust data-driven programs that include college counseling, socio-emotional supports, and academic tiered interventions for diverse groups of students. Cindy’s work is centered around racially and socially just approaches that uplifts the idea that every single student is capable of, deserves, and has the capacity to attend and be successful in college.

Cindy approaches her work with integrity, from a student-centered framework, and is committed to building collaborative relationships across roles to meet all students' needs. She is inspired by the countless students she has served and believes that their accomplishments will result in equitable advancements for marginalized communities. Cindy is excited to continue to serve the Sequoia Adult School and looks forward to building relationships with the team, students, and families.

Please join us in welcoming Cindy to SAS in her new role!

While COVID-19 vaccine supply remains limited, you can sign up for the County’s notification tool to receive notification when the State makes you eligible and information about how you may get an appointment.

This notification system is meant as an interim strategy as the State of California assembles a statewide COVID-19 vaccine notification system called MyTurn, which will offer online appointment scheduling for our area soon.
