Campolindo parent Chris Banard was honored as Campolindo's Su Stauffer Friend of Education at Wednesday night's AUHSD governing board meeting. Our students, school and community are indeed fortunate to have had Chris as a supportive and tireless volunteer and basketball coach.
Not only has he put in countless hours as a parent of two Campolindo students-Brett, who now attends Cal Poly and Ryan, a sophomore-but Chris has served as: Parent Advisor for four years to the Class of 2010, Parent Club Board member and Webmaster, member of the School Advisory Council and a parent representative on the WASC Focus on Learning Assessment and Accountability committee for the past two years.
To this work as a volunteer, Chris has brought a global and business perspective, always looking for better ways of communicating pertinent information and community news with students and parents. As a member of the School Advisory Council and WASC Focus Group, his active and thoughtful voice has shared concerns, insights and ideas on how Campolindo could improve and best serve the needs of students and the greater community.
As if this were not enough time spent supporting our school, Chris is also the Boys' JV basketball coach and overall program manager. He works positively with the administration, athletic department, parents and students and is one of the major reasons why our program has been successful in supporting our student athletes achieving the honorable.
Chris's dedication and passion for Campolindo is greatly valued and appreciated. He sets an example for all of us in finding a passion and interest that benefits the greater good. Chris has been a permanent fixture on the Campolindo campus, and he and his family will be sorely missed when they move later this month to Boston.
