Health Services for Healthy Students

The Health Services Department at Richland School District's goal is to remove health barriers to students so that they can attend school. Our mission is better health and better learning. To accomplish our goal, we have seven health services employees. There are two District Nurses, Monica Jerome and Mirka Lopez, who provide health care services to students in Richland School District.

Each school site has a student health office that is staffed by a health aide:

Golden Oak: Lizette Solano
Redwood: Sylvia Aguirre
Richland Jr. High: Paola Soto de Gonzalez
Sequoia: Carmen Garza
District Health Clerk: Lisa Abair
District Health Aide: Carmen Cleveland
