OSBA School Board Superheroes Recognition Month January Josiah Barron Board Member I have served on the Umatilla School Board for 4 years now. I was inspired to serve on the school board because, one, working to support children and youth is a rewarding endeavor; two, education is the cornerstone of a community; and three, I'm an advocate for civic engagement. I have learned much and enjoyed serving with my fellow board members. I have also enjoyed the conversations I've had with students while attending school events. A fun fact about me is that I acted in a dramatic production each of the four years I was at college. Umatilla School District Logo

OSBA School Board Superheroes Recognition Month January Board Spotlight Jazmin Martinez Board Advisor I have been on the board for 2 years. I was inspired to join as a board advisor to see what it's about and learn more about how the school system runs. My favorite thing about being on the board is how everyone is so welcoming and easy to get along with. A fun fact about me is I don't plan on leaving the school district until my youngest graduates in 2041. Umatilla School District logo

OSBA School Board Superheroes Recognition Month January Board Spotlight Veronica Gutierrez Board Advisor I have been a part of the board for nine years. I was inspired to serve on the board because I wanted to involve myself more in my children's education and in our community. Being part of the school board has done both for me. My favorite thing about being on the board is the pride in my children's faces when they say my mom is on the school board. A fun fact about me is I want to go on a cruise but I'm also scared of the water. Umatilla School District Logo
