Jesse Scherba, Vice President (Parent Representative, term expires 6/2025)
Jesse loves to move people confidently towards their potential. His career path started with a degree in Business Administration where he came to love creative thinking, problem-solving, and developing culture. Working in education, and holding both a Multiple Subject and Single Subject teaching credential, Jesse has the opportunity to apply his passions and skills towards the students and families he serves. Jesse has four kiddos and an incredible, amazing wife. Together they love to camp, kayak, and play. There is never a dull moment! Jesse is a pretty easy-going guy who needs to define the "box" before blowing the sides off of it. If he could, he would travel the world and explore different cultures. Favorite quote: "People don't care what you know until they know that you care."
