CECILIA MELENDEZ

A Santa Barbara native, Ms. Melendez attended one of Goleta’s first elementary schools,  the now defunct Cathedral Oaks School, whose mascot was a “Punkin Roller.”  From Santa Barbara, Ms. Melendez ventured to a private college in Mexico where she earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology.  

A stalwart at IV School, Ms. Melendez enjoys the diverse community of the school.

In her spare time, Ms. Melendez likes to exercise, read, and watch movies.  In addition, she taught a writing class at Santa Barbara City College for 15 years.
