New School Community Day High School

For those who haven't met me, my name is Adriana Sosa, and I'm excited to serve as your new Community School Specialist.

Watsonville is my hometown—I was born and raised here and attended PVUSD schools from kindergarten through high school. I'm the oldest of three children, and my parents, like many immigrant families, worked incredibly hard to give us a better life. They taught me the importance of education, but they also received help from our community, which shaped my belief that it takes a village to raise a child. It’s this village mentality—where parents, teachers, and community members work as a team—that inspired me to take on this role.

I bring over 18 years of experience from non-profit work, where I've helped individuals and families with everything from housing and utility assistance to financial management and connecting them with vital resources. I've learned that many families don't know all the resources available or how to advocate for themselves. My goal is to bridge that gap and ensure every student has the tools they need to succeed in and out of the classroom.

• Building strong relationships with students, families, staff, and community partners.

• Creating engaging activities for students during lunch and at family events.

• Bringing new resources and programs directly to our school.

By working together, we can create a welcoming and safe environment where every student feels supported. This won't be easy, but I'm ready for the challenge. I'm here to help students and families find the resources they need so that our students can focus, thrive in class, and improve their attendance.

I'm eager to get to know all of you. If you have any suggestions for student activities or family engagement events, please don't hesitate to reach out. I look forward to collaborating with everyone!
