Adele Andrade-Stadler: Member

Adele Andrade-Stadler grew up in Monterey Park and attended Monterey Highlands Elementary and Mark Keppel High School. She earned an associate degree at East Los Angeles College and attended CSULA and Pacific Oaks College.

As a homeowner and a parent, Andrade-Stadler desired to serve the public, so she ran for the AUSD’s Board of Education in 2004.

Andrade-Stadler worked as an early childhood educator at the Foothill Development Center and at the Union Bank Childcare Center. She also worked as district director for Congresswoman Hilda Solis, which inspired her to join the school board to create changes.
When asked about Governor Brown’s plan to increase the budget for education, Andrade-Stadler clarified that the funding would possibly come with spending requirements. The additional money would likely go to English as a second language (ESL) learners of the promotion of career-oriented courses, such as health care.

She currently serves as Transportation Commissioner of the Alhambra Planning and Housing commission, is on the board of directors for the West San Gabriel YMCA and is a member of Soroptimist International, which works to advance women’s rights. She is also president of the PTA. To AHS students, she advises students to “reach beyond what you think you can do. Find what your passion is. Find what makes you tick. You might not know what you really want to do right out of high school, and that’s okay. Do what you want in your heart.”
