A Message from Our Superintendent

August 13, 2026

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Welcome back to the 2026–2027 school year! We are excited to welcome our students, staff, and families as we kick off another incredible year together. We hope you had a restful and enjoyable summer and are ready for the journey ahead.

This year, our theme, One Team, One Goal, One Trophy, reminds us that every student, every staff member, and every family plays an important role in our success. Just like a championship team, we achieve great things when we work together, support one another, and remain focused on our shared goal of helping every student thrive.

As superintendent, I am honored to serve alongside an exceptional team dedicated to providing every student with opportunities to learn, grow, and succeed. Together, we remain committed to ensuring every student graduates prepared for college, career, and life with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to thrive. In this first edition of the 2026–2027 TJUHSD Newsletter, we are pleased to introduce our leadership team, including our principals, directors, assistant superintendents, coordinators, and our new chief business officer, Jessikah Seachao. We are excited to welcome Jessikah to the TJUHSD family and know her expertise and leadership will further strengthen our district.
