The PEF Board of Directors is comprised of community and parent volunteers dedicated to sustaining and enhancing the educational experience of Pacifica's children. The Board consists of community residents and business owners without specific school affiliations, as well as parent representatives from Elementary and Middle Schools in the Pacifica School District.

Johnny Davis

President

I am a Pacifica parent and an enthusiastically engaged activist for our community success.  As a role-model for our children, I'm dedicated to advancing educational awareness and opportunities in Pacifica schools by leveraging the PEF platform strengths for our future leaders!

Emily Hennessy

PSD-PTOs Liason

As a strong advocate for community, I view quality, equitable education as a basic right.  I have a strong passion for and commitment to Pacifica and contribute where I can so that our children have the education that they need so they can develop into creative, problem-solving, and compassionate critical thinkers.

Amy Skeeters-Behrens

Board Member

I deeply appreciate Pacifica's strong community spirit and our shared dedication to preparing our youth for success. Serving on the PEF board, I find immense satisfaction in collaborating with schools, fellow parents, and the wider community to enrich our district's educational programs in science, music, and art.

Kyle Fletcher

Treasurer

Growing up in a small town in the California foothills, I was fortunate to be part of a community that provided me with countless opportunities to excel both academically and personally. This experience has shaped my goal to offer my children, as well as the youth in my current community, the same enriching chances I received. Since relocating to Pacifica in 2022, I have embraced its charming small-town atmosphere and the strong sense of pride that permeates the community. I am eager to leverage my background in accounting to support the mission of the PEF in enhancing the lives of our children.

Scott Hao

Secretary

My son transferred to Vallemar as a 3rd grader in 2023 and I'm excited to get more active in the community beyond just sharing waves at our local surf break.  I'm proud to contribute to PEF's mission to offer our Pacifica students more opportunity and enrichment in music, art, and science. This not only impacts our school offerings today but will continue to impact our community for years to come.

Megan McKenna

Director of Communications

The academic and social benefits of music and science education are proven to provide more than just learning how to sing a song, or complete an experiment. Learning music helps with math and spatial learning, and can build confidence. Science creates curiosity and helps us learn how to solve problems. It's a tragedy that state funding was cut for the arts and sciences years ago. PEF is necessary to bring these important skill sets to the children.

Sara Hall

Director of Events

As a parent in Pacifica, ensuring equitable educational opportunities in our community is a top priority for me. I am deeply committed to supporting our community, placing a particular emphasis on education, children, and schools. I believe in the importance of fostering an environment where children can discover and pursue their passions.

Jena Pesqueda

Director of Development

With 46 years of experience as a classroom teacher ranging from  grade 6 ELA through college rhetoric and composition, I possess a deep understanding of our public school system along with its critical needs, current challenges, and long-term visions for the future. I believe in a meaningful and rigorous educational experience that honors each individual and provides instruction and guidance that will prepare them for a future that does not yet exist.
