About
about me
With over 27 years of dedicated service as an educator in Orange County, I have a proven track record of enhancing the quality of education in our schools. My commitment to our community is reflected in my BA in History from Morehouse College, MA in Cross Cultural Education from National University, and EdD in Educational Leadership from California State University, Long Beach.
For the past 12 years, I have proudly called the city of Orange my home. My career in education includes working at Santiago Charter Middle School, Portola Middle School, Orange High School, and Yorba Middle School. It was at Orange High School where I met my colleague Sheryl; we later married in “The Dome.” My three children currently attend Orange Unified School District schools, deepening my commitment to our community.
My mission is to advocate for inclusive policies, champion community engagement, and support educational innovations within the Orange Unified School District. I am dedicated to collaborating with parents, teachers, and board members to implement the most effective solutions to improve our schools. Ensuring our children are safely learning in our classrooms is of paramount importance.
I am committed to exceeding expectations in my role as a Trustee for the Orange Unified School District. This responsibility is one I take seriously, and I would be honored to have your vote on November 5, 2024.
Thank you for your consideration and your vote.
Sincerely
Dr. Stephen Glass
