Lucia "Lucy" Martinez-Lara, Trustee

In her role as a trustee, Lucy Martinez-Lara seeks to create closer ties between parents and teachers. She believes that doing so will create better paths for students to achieve academic success.

Martinez-Lara grew up in the community and attended the Banning Unified School District. She was inspired by many of her teachers, including a math instructor who challenged her students in creative ways.

Martinez-Lara plans to attend Mt. San Jacinto College to earn an associate’s degree and then study to become a registered nurse.
