As a retired educator with over 30 years of classroom experience in Lake County, I am quite interested in the election of our county's next superintendent of schools. Though I know each of the candidates to be knowledgeable and professional, I heartily endorse the candidacy of Wally Holbrook.

 

Holbrook's campaign slogan, "Together We Thrive ... Leadership With Experience" goes far beyond mere rhetoric. His passion and enthusiasm for education and his supportive and collaborative style of leadership have been continually evidenced in our county and beyond.

Under his inspired leadership as a principal, Gard Street School in Kelseyville became Lake County's first California Distinguished School. His subsequent years as principal at Mountain Vista Middle School followed by his 16 years as school superintendent in Kelseyville, Winters and Dixon plus his current work as a leadership coach to several area school superintendents and principals further define him as a true leader in the field of education.

 

Holbrook's commitment to lead, support, administer and partner in providing quality education for all students empowers students, teachers, support staff, parents and community to work together to set meaningful goals, to solve problems and to achieve outstanding results.

As our county superintendent of schools, Wally will continue to work hard to bring people together to maximize opportunities and success for our students.

 

Join me in voting for Wally Holbrook.
