Leggett Valley Unified School District is delighted to announce the hiring of our new Superintendent/Principal Sierra Lahera. Ms. Lahera came to Mendocino County in 2017 to continue her career in Public Education. She came to Mendocino County seeking a place to set her roots where “there are more trees than people”! Prior to moving to Mendocino County, Sierra lived in southern California where she worked for the past 23 years with children and families. Her career in Public Education includes early childhood education, substitute teaching in all grades K-12, teaching high school special education, serving as the Special Education Director and Coordinator for Ukiah Unified School District and most recently has worked for the Mendocino County Office of Education as an Education Specialist. Ms. Lahera shares that “It has been an absolute pleasure to start learning about our awesome schools and dedicated staff. I felt right at home here from the very first time I stepped onto both campuses. I am eager to get to know students and parents by name at both Whale Gulch and Leggett Valley school sites. I welcome folks to come in and chat with me anytime. I want to especially thank the school board members who are clearly so in tune with the staff and communities and care very much about our youth. It is an honor that they have put their trust in me. I can’t wait to get started.” The new Superintendent/Principal will begin working part time on both campuses right away with Interim Superintendent Joanie Potter. She is looking forward to her new role and hopes to be an integral part of bringing the community together with events and activities, celebrating our successes, and most importantly, growing hearts and minds. Please feel free to reach out to her at 707 925-2005 or email sierralahera@leggett.k12.ca.us Leggett Valley Unified School District warmly welcomes Sierra Lahera to the school communities and feels so very fortunate to have her become a part of the school family.
