As we prepare for the new year, we also want to highlight what makes E.O. Green unique. We are proud to be a California Community School, which means we are committed to supporting the whole child and family. Our campus offers wellness and mental health support, academic enrichment, after-school programs, and family resources designed to help every student thrive in and out of the classroom. By working closely with our Community Schools Coordinator, we connect families to programs and services that strengthen both learning and community.
Here is a letter of introduction from our Community Schools Coordinator:
Hello E.O. Green Hornets and Community,
My name is Adeline Mendez, and I’m honored to return to E.O. Green Middle School—both as a dedicated alum and, now, your new Community School Coordinator. With 21 years of experience in education as a teacher and school administrator, I am deeply committed to advancing student success and fostering meaningful community partnerships.
Having grown up in this community, I truly understand the heart and values that make E.O. Green special. I’m excited to team up with students, families, staff, and local organizations to help:
Expand enriching after-school and enrichment programs
Strengthen family engagement and volunteer opportunities
Build community collaborations for academic and social supports
Emphasize health, safety, belonging, and student well‑being
My goal is to build bridges between our vibrant school and the broader community—to make E.O. Green a place where every student feels known, supported, and inspired.
I look forward to meeting everyone, hearing your ideas, and working together to continue the proud Hornet traditions and making a meaningful impact.
Warmly,
Adeline Mendez
E.O. Green Community School Coordinator
