BOARD OF TRUSTEES, PRESIDENT, ANNEMARIE RANDLE-TREJO

ANNEMARIE RANDLE-TREJO was elected to the Board in 2012. Ms. Randle-Trejo was born in Los Angeles County 51 years ago, one of seven siblings. She has been a resident of Orange County for the past 46 years, 25 years a homeowner in Anaheim, raising two children who graduated from the District and are now 25 and 17.

Ms. Randle-Trejo began her devotion to volunteerism while a student as a “volunteen” in the public library and in the community as a Girl Scout. Because her first love was music, she also was a member and officer of her junior high and high school choirs all six years, and won numerous honors for her singing. To start her professional singing career, she obtained an associate of arts degree from Orange Coast Community College, but marriage and family took center stage.

She turned her volunteerism toward local schools and the PTA 26 years ago when, pregnant with her first child, she stepped up to volunteer at her niece’s Head Start program, and was hooked. Education and advocating for students became a calling.

In 1997, she began her career in the Anaheim City School District as a noon yard supervisor. She later became a special education instructional aide and is now a behavioral interventionist instructional aide.

Throughout her career, Ms. Randle-Trejo continued volunteering in Anaheim’s elementary and secondary school systems. She has served the AUHSD through 13 years and five superintendents in a host of volunteer opportunities pertaining to the welfare of students, with the primary goal of building inclusiveness for both the students and their parents. She believes she has spent that time gaining an education that couldn’t be bought.

In addition to serving on the PTA unit and council executive boards, Ms. Randle-Trejo’s involvement includes being a co-chair of the Measure Z Committee; a member of several School Site Councils; member of the Citizens’ Bond Oversight Committee; the District Advisory Council; District Website Subcommittee; Student Incentive Task Force; Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Foundation; Buena Park Youth Theater Commission Board; and band, choir, and athletic booster club member. She also has been active in Girls Scouts for many years.
