I was born in San Diego My experience at both sites has given me the privilege of knowing many of our South Bay families and their children.  Being part of the tremendous staff at Mendoza, I want to convey our understanding, dedication and time that each and every one of us put toward our students’ education and academic success.  I continue to look forward to working side by side with our principal, Don Visnick, and in continuing the high standards of excellence Mendoza has established.  With continued student achievement, parental involvement, and community relations as our main focus and goal, we will guide our students to “challenge the future.”
