"Lily" Emily Schworm
Cajon Valley Union School District Governing Board
Trustee Area 3
My story begins right here
​I have lived most of my life in El Cajon and attended local schools. When a vacancy opened up on the Governing Board in April, I applied and was appointed as the Area 3 Trustee.
​
Here’s why you should keep me there -
​
Invested Parent:
I homeschool my four daughters (age 5-14) because I am passionate about education and passing on my family’s values, proving my commitment to support families in their quest to find the right fit for their education needs.
​
Experienced Teacher:
I have a BA Linguistics and Minor in Spanish from SDSU, as well as a BLCAD teaching credential still current in California.
I have taught all over San Diego, finishing my last five years as a public educator at Lexington Elementary in 2011, when I decided to stay home with my girls.
​
Committed Community Volunteer:
I have attended Foothills Christian Church for 26 years and have been continuously involved in youth and family outreach and mentorship through church programs as well as with elementary Sunshine Clubs, Youth Venture Teen Centers, and Ethics in Business for local high schoolers.
​
I embody the passion, experience, and
dedication needed for the job –
