Dear Valiente Students and Families,

Welcome back to another exciting school year! I hope all our students and families are enjoying their summer break, staying active, and staying safe. My name is Jason Marin, I will be serving as the new Executive Director at Valiente College Preparatory Charter School for the 22-23 academic school year. 

I am excited to embark on this Valiente journey as we all work together to continue to bring academic rigor and excellence to our students, families, and community. I have been in education for over 15 years serving students and families of color in diverse communities and neighborhoods. Over the years I have learned how to support and overcome the challenges that many of our students and families face on a daily basis. In addition, I have always kept high expectations for our students while also being realistic about what growth is needed to impact change in every student. I am big on building partnerships with families as it will take a village to keep pushing our students to excellence and teaching them how to be well-rounded students; not just in school but in their families and communities. 

Our students and your children are the next generations of leaders! I look forward to getting to know each student, and each parent to create strong partnerships in service of helping all students be successful. 

Let’s have a great school year!
