Dear Region 18 ACSA Members,

As the newly elected President of the Association of California School Administrators for Region18, it is my sincere pleasure to welcome you to what promises to be an exciting and successful school year.

Our region is home to an incredible community of dedicated and passionate educators, and I am honored to serve alongside you in this important work. As we start this new academic year, I am filled with optimism and excitement for the opportunities ahead of us. Together, we will continue to advocate for the needs of our students and support the professional growth of our colleagues.

This year, our region will host a variety of events aimed at strengthening the bonds within our
educational community by fostering professional connections and promoting social well-being, while
engaging in activities designed to learn something new in a fun social environment.

I encourage each of you to stay engaged, share your ideas, and take full advantage of the resources
and networks that ACSA provides. By working together, we can enhance our impact on the lives of the
students and families we serve.

Stay tuned for upcoming events and thank you for your unwavering commitment to excellence in
education. Let’s make this school year our best yet!

Warm regards,
Lucio Padilla Jr.
Calipatria Unified School District
President, ACSA Region 18
