Myriam S. Moody for School Board 2026

Meet Myriam

20-year La Mesa Resident and teacher who wants to restore the fundamental foundation of good education: reading, writing and arithmetic.

With a deep commitment to family values and community enrichment, Myriam understands that strong schools build strong neighborhoods. She is ready to listen to parents, support our educators, and ensure every student has the tools they need to succeed in a safe and welcoming environment.

Core Priorities for La Mesa-Spring Valley

According to the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress:

36% of LMSV students met or exceeded the standard for Math
48% of LMSV students met or exceeded the standard for English Language Arts

Academic Excellence & The 3 R's

Based on the percentages above, it is clear that our current leadership and focus is failing our children. It is time to refocus on the fundamentals. Myriam will provide that fresh perspective to give our children the best possible opportunity to succeed in today's world. Myriam is dedicated to improving test scores and getting kids back to mastering reading, writing, and arithmetic. By prioritizing essential academics, we can equip our students with the critical thinking skills they need to thrive in the real world.

Protecting Parental Rights

Your Child, Your Voice: Parents are the primary stakeholders in a child's life. Myriam will fight to make certain parents are kept fully informed of their child's education. She is committed to ensuring that parents' voices are not only heard by the board but actively taken into account when policies are made.
