Jessica Marrone
President
The reality is that public school funding is not enough to provide a competitive education for our children. ESF raises money in order to continue EUSD’s excellent standards that go above and beyond what a public school can offer on its own. I want to be a part of ensuring all of our children continue to thrive.
Yana Smolin
Treasurer
I am proud to be part of a foundation that partners with our school district to provide funding for enrichment programs. These programs ensure that our children are given the tools they need to excel in their future academic and personal lives. Parent involvement and support are essential in fully funding these programs.
Gina Kim
Secretary
ESF is critical to elevating the quality of education in our school district. I serve because I want to make a difference in the enrichment opportunities available to our children and demonstrate to my two daughters that their school experience is important and worth contributing to.
Cory Salzillo
Board Member
I serve ESF because ESF is dedicated to enriching the educational experience of my son and his peers. The ripple effect of ESF’s good work reverberates beyond our schools and deep into our community with irreplaceable benefits.
Rob Gutowsky
Board Member
I am involved with the Eureka Schools Foundation because I am passionate about supporting our local education system and ensuring it provides the best opportunities for all students. I am deeply invested in fostering an environment where our children can thrive academically and personally.
Brandon Sessions
Board Member
Having lived in the area for over 24 years, I know our schools are a big attraction for people wanting to be in our area. I have a daughter in EUSD and I want to make sure she and all the other kids in the districts are getting the best experience possible for a brighter future.
Sudhakar Jonnalagadda
Board Member
I am a part of Eureka Schools Foundation because I believe every kid should get the best possible opportunity for a well-rounded education and there is no better way to help make the world a better place than to help the next generation.
