Meet a couple of our El Camino Equity Team Members!

My name is Chrystal Bernasconi, and I am a member of the Native Village of Ruby, Koyukon Athabascan (Native Alaskan). I am a graduate of the San Juan School District. I have one child who graduated from El Camino High School last year and another who is currently a freshman. In November 2024, I transitioned from my role as a member of the American Indian Education Program Parent Advisory Committee, where I served for over seven years, to focus on my new responsibility as El Camino's Site Equity Liaison. In this role, I have been working alongside a diverse team of staff and students to address and resolve issues of inequity within our community. I am deeply passionate about equity and am committed to supporting marginalized groups in achieving success. Here at El Camino, my oldest child and I co-founded the school district's only Native Youth Club last school year. I also played a key role in developing the district's land acknowledgment, which was officially approved by the school board in November 2024. Most recently, I joined the District's Identity Club Advisory Team to further contribute to these important initiatives. I look forward to seeing this team blossom!

Hi! My name is Molly Anderson. I'm a senior. I don't personally do any of the clubs here at El Camino, but I am very involved in the community around the campus. I have a lot of connections, and I love helping students in any way I can. I care a lot about students at El Camino are treated. So, If you ever need help, please let me know! You can flag me down in the halls or email me at andersonmolly051@gmail.com
