LONGTIME EDUCATOR 
TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT 
OF CITRUS COLLEGE 
GOVERNING BOARD

Glendora, Calif. (Jan. 23, 2024) - Anthony 
Contreras, Ed.D., a local school administrator 
and lifelong resident of Azusa, was installed as the 
new president of the Citrus Community College 
District Board of Trustees during the board's 
annual organization meeting in December 2023.

Appointed to the board in 2020 and elected in 
2022, Dr. Contreras represents trustee area 1, 
which includes Azusa and portions of Duarte. 
In addition to his role on the Citrus College 
governing board, Dr. Contreras is serving as the 
principal of the Azusa Adult Education Center 
in Azusa. His 34-year career with the Azusa 
Unified School Dis-trict also includes time spent 
as an elementary school assistant and a middle 
school mathematics teacher, as well as holding 
additional administrative positions.

"As a graduate of Citrus College and an engaged 
member of this community, I am honored that 
my colleagues have selected me to serve as 
president of the board for this upcoming year," Dr. 
Contreras said. "It is inspiring and invigorating 
to help students fulfill their dreams, and I am 
eager to continue this great work alongside my 
fellow trustees. Together, we will do all we can 
to assist Citrus College students in reaching their 
academic and professional goals."

Citrus Community College District Board of 
Trustee members also installed during the 
meeting were Cheryl Alex-ander as vice president 
and Mary Ann Lutz as clerk/secretary. Patricia 
A. Rasmussen, Ed.D., and Laura J. Bol-linger 
will continue to serve as board members, while 
Sabrina Soriano will remain in her position as 
student trustee.

"The campus community is fortunate to be 
led by a body of dedicated and accomplished 
professionals who rep-resent the communities 
we serve and understand the challenges and 
opportunities that exist in higher education," 
said Dr. Greg Schulz, superintendent/president 
of Citrus College. "Their collaborative leadership 
and guidance, combined with the hard work 
of our faculty and staff, will continue to enable 
Citrus College to offer innovative academic 
programs and student services that prepare the 
students in our community for the future."
