Running for Deer Valley Unified School Board.
Julie Stockwell has always believed in public education. She holds a degree in secondary education from the University of Arizona and a master’s in educational leadership from Arizona State University. With this strong academic foundation, Julie spent her career teaching high school, coaching sports, sponsoring clubs, and serving on various school, district, and state committees. These decades of experience taught her that every student has unique learning needs and that it’s crucial to develop a diverse set of programs to meet them fairly. Julie and her husband have four grown children who now have families of their own. They’re all pleased with the public schools their kids attend. Visiting their children and grandchildren is a joy, but community service has always been a priority. Julie has volunteered with nonprofit organizations like Habitat for Humanity, the Arizona Animal Welfare League, and Chances for Children. She’s also stayed involved in education as a substitute teacher in several classrooms. These experiences have sharpened her understanding that we all simply want the best for our families. For Julie, serving as a school board member in the Deer Valley Unified School District, where she has lived for over 40 years, would be an honor. With public schools facing challenges in funding and support, she knows we need experienced, thoughtful, and collaborative people to celebrate the district’s successes while addressing issues that need open and honest conversation. Julie is eager to serve the community in this trusted role.
