Yucaipa Adult School

We are incredibly fortunate to have a principal who genuinely cares about our students, staff, and school community. His dedication extends far beyond our campus, as he works tirelessly at the local, state, and national levels to advocate for adult education and the learners we serve.

His passion, leadership, and commitment do not go unnoticed. We are grateful for all he does, and this recognition is so well deserved!

Happy ! 🌟 Today, we are proud to spotlight Dana Carter, Principal at Yucaipa Adult School (YAS)!

If you ask Mr. Carter to describe YAS in three words, he’ll tell you it’s welcoming, connected, and joyful—a reflection of the vibrant community built by our dedicated staff and inspiring students.

Here’s a look at what makes leading YAS so special to him:

🎉 Favorite Part of the Semester:
The school-wide potluck! It’s a wonderful tradition where students and staff from every program come together to share food, community, and celebration.

🍎 Favorite Part of the Day:
Visiting classrooms! As Mr. Carter puts it: "I get to hear from students and how we are making a tangible difference in their lives."

Thank you, Principal Carter, for your visionary leadership, your passion for adult education, and the heart you pour into YAS every single day! 💙
