Leandra Garcia

I manage the counseling office to ensure daily operations run smoothly to provide counseling support services to our students, parents, and staff. I am the Administrator for the World Language Dept and work collaboratively in their PLC. As the CAASPP Coordinator I ensure we meet the State's minimum participation rates. I also have coordinated our PIQE program successfully for 8 years. I've lead successfully our Counseling Team and we have improved student outcomes in our A-G completion, Financial Aid submission, Graduation and College and Career Readiness rates. Most recently, I took the role of SEL Lead and oversee our school psychologist and social workers. We have developed a MTSS tier support for our students social and emotional well being. Our Counseling/Support Services PLC meet on a weekly basis to ensure all students are being supported academically as well as social and emotionally.

As a Learning Director at El Diamante High School, I was the Sophomore counselor as well as their Administrator of discipline. I assisted with supervision of students and teacher evaluations. I was also the PSAT coordinator and performed this successfully.

I counseled a caseload of 400-500 students, supporting them towards high school graduation and their future college plans. I also assisted with supervision of students as well as coordinated state testing. I was the advisor for the Be the Change Club and supported club members to reach out to students that were not connected on campus.
