MOUNTAIN VIEW LOS ALTOS UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT | AREA 3
THIDA CORNES FOR MVLA SCHOOL BOARD
Each and Every Student. Seen. Supported. Set Up to Succeed.
I'm Thida Cornes, your Mountain View-Los Altos High School (MVLA) Board President, running for Trustee Area 3. I’m a disabled immigrant, a mom, and a longtime Mountain View resident, with my service dog, Jeeves, always by my side.
I navigated both challenges and opportunities during my formative school years. Later I worked full time as an engineering director while earning my MBA from UC Berkeley Haas.
That’s why I’ve dedicate the past four years on the MVLA Board to ensuring every student feels seen, supported, and set up to succeed.
Three Commitments Guide My Work
MY PRIORITIES
Academic Excellence and Opportunities
Every Student Succeeds
Students deserve consistent expectations, strong teaching, and the chance to explore their interests and discover their passions.
Connection and Belonging
Every Student Seen
Every student deserves to walk into class knowing they belong there — and I'm working to make that true for all of them.
Transparency and Fiscal Responsibility
An Open, Accessible Board
Our community deserves Trustees who are open, accessible, and careful with every tax dollar. I have worked hard to earn that trust and will continue to do so.
