and becoming a member of his executive leadership team.
I accepted this position because we both share the same
passion and vision of making our District a national model
for student success,” said Dr. Delahoussaye.

bachelor’s degree in history from California State
University, Los Angeles. She has a master’s degree

She is eligible to apply for the permanent position or
any other related position that may evolve.
