For mer student Guevara gives back to RUSD, community Ms. Guevara has a positive attitude and is someone our students trust. I look forward to seeing the impact I know she will have on our students, school culture, and academic success here at Kolb.”

here are still moments when Angela Guevara feels like her former teacher is going to call on her and ask a calculus question.

“This mixer was our first event in almost two years and we were happy to show appreciation to our longtime outgoing President Edward Carrillo. He’s been such a great president to the chamber and his passion for small business is what truly made him one of a kind,” said Lisa Brown, Rialto of Commerce Chamber Administrative Assistant.

Today, Guevara and Dr. Chris Jackson are colleagues, working at Kolb Middle School. Guevara is a newly hired counselor. Dr. Jackson is the school’s math coach. But it wasn’t all that long ago they were in a classroom as teacher and student. Dr. Jackson taught Guevara, a 2012 Eisenhower High School graduate, in algebra and calculus in high school. Dr. Jackson said he still sees her as his student, and he still keeps a stuffed animal bear that Guevara presented to him almost a decade ago as a thank you in his office bookshelf. They both admit the “colleague” word is still a little odd, but Dr. Jackson beams as he talks about his former student. “I’m just extremely proud of her just to see what she’s turned into,” Dr. Jackson said. He has plenty of reasons to.

Although she loves to travel — she spent a semester abroad in Spain during college and visits family in Mexico during the holidays — Guevara has always felt passionate about making her community a better place.

She attended Myers Elementary School, Frisbie Middle School, and Eisenhower High School as a student.

She’s committed to giving back to the city and community she’s always called home, and she’s excited to do that at Kolb Middle School. At 26 years old, Guevara has spent most of her life, both as a student and a professional, in the Rialto Unified School District.

“We are excited to have Ms. Angela Guevara in the Kolb Family as our new counselor,” Kolb Middle School Principal Armando Urteaga said. “You can tell Ms. Guevara is highly motivated to utilize her talents and skills. She understands and empathizes with our students.

“A lot of people had the mentality of we have to leave to be successful,” Guevara said. “I had the mentality of why do we have to leave? Why can’t we just make where we are a place where we want to work and have our families? That’s one of the major reasons why I stayed.” She attended RUSD schools Myers Elementary School, Frisbie Middle School, and Eisenhower High School. From there, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Guevara, cont. on next pg.
