Honored to have been part of this important moment as Gov. Spanberger signed HB1113 into law. This is an important step toward ensuring that more students can access the support they need, in ways that recognize and respect their language, background, and lived experiences.
A student struggling with their mental health shouldn’t also have to struggle to be understood. Sometimes that means being able to explain what they’re feeling clearly. Sometimes it means support that reflects their experiences and how they communicate. It’s about making sure
A student struggling with their mental health shouldn’t also have to struggle to be understood. Sometimes that means being able to explain what they’re feeling clearly. Sometimes it means support that reflects their experiences and how they communicate. It’s about making sure help actually works. Organizations committed to this work joined me as Governor Abigail Spanberger signed HB1113, helping ensure schools have the guidance to deliver mental health support students can understand and connect with across language, background, and experience. Because when students can communicate and connect, they’re far more likely to get the help they need.
Today marks 5 months since I joined the Sacred Heart Center team, and I cannot quite put into words how amazing of a journey it has been. If you feel moved to do so, I ask that you join me in making a donation to make a lasting impact and change lives! shcrichmond.org/donate
I am thrilled to share that I will serve as the next Executive Director of the Sacred Heart Center. I welcome your support and partnership to best serve our community, and I feel grateful and hopeful for what lies ahead! shcrichmond.org
I’m excited to announce my appointment to Leadership Metro Richmond’s Board of Directors! @LMRconnect
Thank you for serving, @SecCardona, and thank you for giving this educator the audacity to dream big. #SiSePuede
Thank you for your servant leadership!
Today I am signing off as the Secretary of Education, my dream job. What I used to tell my students on the last day of school is that this isn’t goodbye, but rather a celebration of our time together. This is the same, here are some things I’m celebrating today. 🧵1/6
This month I wrapped up 6 years of board service with the Virginia College Access Network. I feel thankful that the board is more diverse and engaged now and I am thankful for those that believed in me to serve and lead. VirginiaCAN will continue to expand college access far all!
I was so sad to learn of President Jimmy Carter’s death today. One of his accomplishments that really resonates with me was his founding of the Department of Education. President Carter understood our shared future depends on access to a good education for all Americans. RIP.
Great things happening at @GoFalconsHHS I’m very thankful for the wonderful team we have at HHS, for our amazing students and their families, and for RTD’s positive press! richmond.com/news/local/edu…
Great things are happening at RPS! This has been years in the making, and we’re not finished yet. We have such a great team and amazing students here. ¡Perseverando! vpm.org/news/2024-10-2…
I’m thankful for the opportunity to be a part of a first of its kind event in Richmond to uplift Latino stories and voices towards a common cause. ¡Si se puede!

More great news! @RPS_Schools is leading the way on reducing chronic absenteeism.
MLK and Huguenot featured in this NATIONAL CBS piece. Huge kudos to Principal Dabney and Principal Massa for showing the country how we do it @RPS_Schools! cbsnews.com/video/virginia…

Today marks the end of my service on the Virginia Latino Advisory Board. It’s been the honor of a lifetime to represent the Latino community of VA to two different Governors across the last 4 years & to chair the board for 2 years. I hope to have served the Commonwealth well!
Congratulations to the Huguenot HS Class of 2024! Don’t ever forget: We love you here @RPS_Schools and always will!
Our students wrote an Op-Ed, and I am so incredibly proud of them! “We request that our local media outlets shift their paradigm from directing the public’s attention to our low points to highlighting and relishing our successes.” RTD Commentary: Tragedy doesn’t define us.
Read this right now! SO proud of our Huguenot HS students! @RPS_Schools richmond.com/opinion/column…
This weekend I completed the National Principals Leadership Academy from the Association of Latino Administrators and Superintendents (ALAS). I’m grateful for the incredible experience and excited to share I’ll also be presenting at the ALAS Summit in Portland, Oregon this fall!
