Superintendent Updates
Friends and Alumni of Visions In Education,
My name is Dr. Steve Olmos, and I am the Superintendent/Executive Director of Visions In Education (Visions). Visions is in our 25th year of service, a significant milestone achieved by few other charter schools in the state. In the spirit of reflection, I want to take a moment to recognize all who have made this milestone possible. Without our many staff, families, and students like you over the years, we would not have this story to tell. I sincerely thank each and every one of you for being part of our lifelong community.
We have had a busy start to the 2024-25 school year, including celebrating our 25th anniversary, recording our highest number of students in our history (7,500+), and submitting our charter petition for renewal. Behind the scenes, we are continuing to position ourselves as a positive voice in the charter school community, including sharing our story in Newsweek, presenting at the Amazon Business Reshape and Studer Education conferences, and potentially sponsoring more legislation in the upcoming year. As always, we are putting students at the center of all that we do, laying the foundation for another 25 years of success. I look forward to walking this path with the next generation of learners.
With gratitude,
Dr. Steve Olmos

Alumni Hall of Fame
Thousands of students have been part of our school community over the past 25 years, and we know so many have gone on to accomplish amazing things in their personal and professional lives. To recognize our distinguished alumni, we launched the Alumni Hall of Fame this year. This program is dedicated to honoring and sharing the stories of alumni who have made significant contributions to their communities and beyond since their time at Visions.
Alumni are encouraged to fill out the form below for a chance to be recognized in the Hall of Fame! Parents/guardians of Visions alumni are also welcome to submit the form here.
Celebrating Our 25th Anniversary
This June was the official mark of our 25th year as a school. To celebrate, we’ve been busy sharing our story and highlighting pieces of Visions’ history, and plan to continue commemorating this milestone with both current and former Visionaries. We are proud to have served our community for over 25 years, and hope you’ll celebrate this achievement with us.
Moving On Up
Our construction teams have been busy preparing our new headquarters in Gold River! We’ve ripped up carpet, torn down walls, and are beginning to structure our new offices and training rooms. We hope to officially make our move in the spring of 2025, and look forward to having a more modern and spacious office for our staff and families.

Renewing Our Charter
Last month, we submitted our charter petition to our authorizer, San Juan Unified School District (SJUSD), for renewal for a July 1st, 2025 – June 30th, 2030 term. This nearly 1,000 page document details our rules and regulations regarding school operations, fiscal management, student outcomes, and more, and is anticipated to be approved in December 2024. We are grateful to our educational partners at SJUSD and for the opportunity to continue serving our students.
