Ronda McBride - President of Secondary
Ronda

Ronda feels blessed to have been able to be a stay-at-home mom for three wonderful boys. Her two older boys have already graduated from college and are living in Dallas, and her youngest is starting his second year at John Adams Academy-El Dorado Hills. We love the classical education he is receiving and are so thankful to have found this school. He is truly thriving here. A native Alabamian, Ronda has also lived in Atlanta, Georgia; Dallas, Texas and for the last 22 years, El Dorado Hills. She feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to be active in the schools that her children attended, having coordinated numerous Harvest Festivals and Galas as well as volunteering to help with other school activities and fundraisers over the years. She looks forward to working with the other PSO board members in the coming year in support of the faculty and scholars.

She is the mother of a first grader at JAA and feels blessed that her daughter has the opportunity to receive a classical education.  She has an immense appreciation for the values of the school and the emphasis on America's heritage.  Julie's passion for philanthropy and civics has guided her career as a fundraising consultant.  She enjoys volunteering in the classroom and engaging with the amazing future public servants of John Adams Academy.
