San Juan Island School District Superintendent Danna Diaz will hold her second annual open house on Monday, Aug. 28, 2017, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Friday Harbor Middle School commons.

Diaz’s guest this year is renowned motivational speaker Carlos Ojeda Jr. Mr. Ojeda’s enthusiastic message is about empowering students to succeed.

Ojeda has been called one of the most dynamic speakers in America today. As a community advocate, he has worked extensively with high school and college aged youths, spreading his message of education, leadership, community activism and entrepreneurship. His compassion, strength and genuineness have inspired the youth, educators, and leaders whose paths he has crossed along his journey as an innovative and masterful communicator. Ojeda will also be addressing the SJISD staff that morning at the Back-to-School convocation. San Juan Island School District would like to thank their sponsor Valmark.
