This year, of course, brings me a special sense of nostalgia and gratitude as I conclude my time in the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD).<\/p>\n<p>Having the opportunity to serve as superintendent of this amazing school district has been one of life&#8217;s greatest gifts. Our district, as many of you know, has been my home away from home for the past 31 years, and I have treasured every moment, every memory, every step of this journey.<\/p>\n<p>During my time here in PYLUSD, there has been one constant \u2013 to work alongside dedicated, inspirational individuals, individuals of character and compassion, individuals who believe in a common &#8220;why,&#8221; individuals who understand the importance of &#8220;Every Student, Every Day,&#8221; individuals who gladly and freely do whatever it takes to prepare students for life.<\/p>\n<p>This extraordinary commitment that each of you make is an inspiration and a tribute to your professional and personal excellence. I have been inspired and blessed as a result.<\/p>\n<p>G. K. Chesterton once described education as, &#8220;Simply the soul of a society as it passes from one generation to another.&#8221; It is difficult to overestimate the importance and the honor of playing a role in that great legacy.<\/p>\n<p>I look forward to seeing this amazing educational community continue to grow, equipping students in extraordinary ways. It has been exciting, humbling and gratifying to have been a part of this important work.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you from the bottom of my heart,<\/p>\n<p>Doug Domene, Ed.D.<br \/>\nSuperintendent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear PYLUSD Staff and Community: The end of a school year is always a time of reflection and appreciation.
