Sequoia Adult School

After 18 years of hard work and dedication to the Sequoia Union High School District and to the Sequoia Adult School, Director Lionel DeMaine is retiring!

Lionel arrived to Sequoia Union High School District in 2002 to work as the Accountability Specialist and Business Analyst at the District office. He soon became the Assistant Director at Sequoia Adult School in 2005 where he continued to work on school wide processes and accountability. In 2010 Lionel went on to become Sequoia Adult School's Director. Lionel has lead Sequoia Adult School through some of its most difficult times including the COVID-19 pandemic.

Lionel had always strived to continually improve Sequoia Adult School by focusing on student success and leading with compassion. Having always put student's needs and education in the forefront of all the decisions, he has made Sequoia Adult School a place where students from all walks of life can come to pursue their education and feel safe and accepted. Lionel DeMaine is an exemplary leader who has become such a integral part of the school, and his absence will surely be missed by all.

Lionel, we wish you a long, happy and healthy retirement! It is well deserved!

All the best,

Sequoia Adult School

SUHSD Travel Guidance

Although staying home continues to be the best way to protect yourself from COVID-19, in the event that you plan to travel this holiday season, we ask you that you please follow the CDC’s recommendations for travel.

The recommendations are as follows:

After travel, travelers should monitor their health and look for COVID-19 symptoms
Take temperature if you feel sick and visit a doctor

If you participate in “high-risk activities during travel, travelers should take additional precautions 14 days after returning home, which include:

Stay home as much as possible
Avoid being around others

Per the CDC, high-risk activities include:

Travel to an area that is experiencing high levels of COVID-19, including destinations with a Level 3 Risk Level
Large social gatherings (such as weddings, funerals, or parties)
Mass gatherings (such as sporting events, concerts, or parades)
Being in crowds (e.g., at restaurants, bars, airports, bus, and train stations, and movie theaters)
Travel on a cruise ship or riverboat

As a community, it is important that we all do our part to take the necessary precautions to limit our exposure and spread of COVID-19. If we work together and stay vigilant, we can protect our community, save lives, and increase our opportunity of returning to a level of normalcy sooner rather than later.
