Trustee Area 5

Welcome!

Apple Valley has shaped my life for more than forty years. I attended Apple Valley schools, graduated from Granite Hills High School, met my husband here, and today we're proud to be raising our son in Apple Valley Unified.

This community has given so much to my family, and I believe it's time to give back by serving our schools with integrity, compassion, and a commitment to every student.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I've spent my career helping children and families overcome challenges, strengthening school partnerships, and expanding access to mental health resources because student success depends on more than academics alone.

I'm running for the Apple Valley Unified School District Board because I believe our schools are strongest when we work together—with transparency, accountability, and respect.

Meet the Candidate

Angela Rincon, LMFT

Apple Valley Unified School Board Candidate, Trustee Area 5

As a longtime Apple Valley resident, licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and parent of an AVUSD student, I'm committed to ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive in safe, supportive, and high-achieving schools.

Rooted in Our Community

Apple Valley has been home to my family for more than four decades.

I graduated from Granite Hills High School, where I met my husband of 24 years. Today our son proudly attends Apple Valley Unified schools, giving me firsthand insight into the opportunities and challenges our students and families experience.

Education has always been central to our family. My mother-in-law dedicated more than thirty years serving AVUSD as a teacher, inspiring generations of students and demonstrating the lasting impact educators have on our community.

Serving Families

For years I've worked as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, helping children, adolescents, adults, and families navigate life's challenges.

My work extends beyond the therapy office.

I've partnered with local schools and community organizations, organized annual mental health fairs, expanded access to behavioral health resources, and developed student wellness initiatives that help students succeed both inside and outside the classroom.

Why I'm Running

I believe every decision made by the School Board should begin with one question:

"How does this help students succeed?"

I believe our district deserves leadership that listens carefully, communicates openly, supports educators, partners with families, and makes responsible decisions that prepare students for the future.

My Priorities

Putting Students First

Every student deserves the opportunity to learn in an environment where they feel safe, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Supporting Teachers and Staff

Outstanding educators are the foundation of student success. I will advocate for attracting, supporting, and retaining exceptional teachers and staff.

Student Wellness

Academic success and emotional well-being go hand in hand. I'll continue advocating for practical mental health resources, student wellness initiatives, and partnerships that support the whole child.

Transparency and Accountability

Families deserve honest communication and thoughtful leadership. I believe School Board decisions should be transparent, fiscally responsible, and always focused on what's best for students.

Strong Community Partnerships

Great schools don't exist in isolation. By working together with parents, educators, businesses, and community organizations, we can create more opportunities for every student.
