Posted on by

Patricia Rodriguez-Mackintosh was born in East Los Angeles, and attended Los Angeles Downtown Marinello School of Beauty, a cosmetology school, after graduating from high school. She has been president of the Parent Teacher Association for four terms, and has been a member of the School Site Council and Bond Committee at Alhambra High School and Marguerita Elementary School. Additionally, she has been president of the AUSD Board of Education twice, and previously worked at Alhambra High School for seven years as a volunteer coordinator. Rodriguez-Mackintosh also worked for 17 years at the snack bar at Moor Field and 15 years as Grad Night coordinator.

Rodriguez-Mackintosh says that one of the top priorities for additional funding is to enhance the educational program and to support the transition to common core standards.

She is currently a member of the Alhambra Educational Foundation Board and of the Parks and Recreation Commission and Joint-Use Committee. Rodriguez-Mackintosh has been on the Board of Education for nine years now, saying that she ran after being encouraged by Robert Gin, the current vice president of the board. Her advice to AHS students is to “never be embarrassed. Never be shy. Some students are so amazing and they don’t realize that.”
