Board of Education President Sends Best Wishes to Graduates
Dear Graduates: On behalf of
the Palm Springs Unified School
District Board of Education, I want
to congratulate all of our District’s
graduates on a job well done! We are
so very proud of all that you have
accomplished over the past 13 years,
and we look forward to hearing
about all you will accomplish in the
future.
For some students, the road to
get to high school graduation was a
difficult one. Maybe it was juggling
studies with extracurricular activities
or work, trying to master difficult
subject matter or dealing with family
obligations or challenges. Whatever
the hurdles, it was far from easy,
but you have made it through and
are now headed to the next stage
in the journey of life. There will,
no doubt, be more obstacles placed
in front of you as you pursue your
future, but you each have the tools
and talents to push through these
bumps in the road and get to your
next destinations.
Whether your next stop is
college, military, trade school or
the work world, your Palm Springs
Unified family supports you and
wishes you the very best of happiness
and success in all of your endeavors.
Our more than 1,700 graduates have
made us so very proud. Way to go
graduates!
Shari Stewart
President
Palm Springs Unified School District
Board of Education
Message from the Superintendent
Congratulations PSUSD Class of 2016
knowing that this will be the last time
that I have the honor and pleasure of
doing this.
I arrived in Palm Springs
Unified nine years ago to serve
as Assistant Superintendent of
Educational Services. I was then
blessed with the opportunity to
become the Superintendent of one
of the finest school districts in the
state of California. It has been an
incredible final act to an over 40year career in education. I couldn’t
be more proud of the students,
As our graduates close the book staff, parents and entire community
on their high school experiences and for the academic and operational
prepare for college or career, I am strides that have been made and
preparing to close a huge chapter in the partnerships formed during this
my book of life as well. After nine time. I am grateful to the Board of
years with the Palm Springs Unified Education for their confidence in
School District, I have reached my me to lead this District during some
final week before my retirement. It is very challenging economic times,
always emotional to shake the hands and I am grateful to our PSUSD
of our graduates as their names are family of administrators, educators
called at the ceremonies. This year, and support staff who stepped up
of course, it was even more poignant to meet those challenges head on to
Page 8
move us ahead despite the hurdles.
I leave PSUSD with mixed
emotions. I look forward to spending
more time with my family and doing
some of the traveling I couldn’t
do until now. At the same time, it
will be quite difficult for me to not
be a part of the day-to-day work
as the District continues to make
progress with new and innovative
programs, added services and the
continued commitment to academic
achievement for each of our nearly
23,000 students.
On behalf of the administration
and staff of the Palm Springs
Unified School District, I want to
congratulate all of our graduates and
tell you how very proud we are of
you and all you have accomplished
so far. We wish you the very best
of success in your next pursuits –
college and/or career – and we have
no doubt that you will continue to
proudly represent PSUSD and the
entire Coachella Valley.
As I prepare to close this chapter
of my life book, I want to thank all
of our students, staff, families and
community members for making
me feel welcome, your continuous
collaboration and your support of
our schools and the District. I have
met your incoming Superintendent
of Schools, Sandra Lyon, and I
am confident that she will take
PSUSD to the next level and
beyond. Her wealth of experience,
reputation and commitment will be
a tremendous asset to this already
great organization. I look forward to
seeing and hearing about the great
strides that I know will continue to
be made in the future. Thank you all
again!
Christine Anderson, Ed.D.
Superintendent of Schools
