Hi, I’m Rachelle.
I have enjoyed living in the Rocklin community for more than 20 years. As a mother of five children, I have volunteered at my kids’ schools and sports activities. I also own two small businesses, and as a result, being actively involved and serving in the community has come naturally.
I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to give back to our community. I served as the Rocklin High School Parent Club President for three years, coached Rocklin Pony Champion Special Needs baseball team for four years, have been part of the Rocklin Historic Quarry District Tree Lighting Committee for six years, and served as President of the Granite Oaks Site Council for three years. I have a strong track record of seeing a need, saying “yes, I will help”, and seeing it fulfilled.
So when the opportunity came up to serve as a school board member for Rocklin Unified School District, many turned to me to apply for the position. I was once again ready to say “yes!” After an application and public interview process, I was unanimously appointed to serve as a trustee starting September 2019, representing 12,000 students and their families, along with 1,200 staff members.
For me, serving as a school board trustee means listening to community members’ concerns and seeking solutions to the challenges our district faces to ensure Rocklin remains a great community. I believe our great schools attract great families who will continue to make Rocklin a special place.
Until the school district closed campuses due to COVID-19, I was making frequent visits to schools, listening to students, teachers, and administrators seeking to understand individual concerns and also to celebrate each school’s successes. Being at the schools, spending time with the students and teachers, and watching education happen in real-time has given me an increased perspective of how wonderful our schools are. I love being part of a district that gives so much to our children and families.
I earned a bachelor’s degree in Human, Family and Child Development from Brigham Young University. My husband, Tyler, and I have been married for 24 years, and love calling Rocklin our home.
Please support me for Rocklin School Board Trustee.
