Alexandria Coronado, D.M.A.
District 2 (2006-2010)
Serving Cypress, Huntington Beach, La Palma, Los Alamitos/Rossmoor, Seal Beach, Stanton, Westminster,
portions of Garden Grove and portions of Costa Mesa.
Dr. Alexandria Coronado has served Orange County’s public school students since 1998, when she was the first
Hispanic woman elected to the Anaheim Union High School District Board of Trustees in the district’s 100-year
history. During her four years on that board, she assisted in the development of Oxford Academy, which was
ranked the fourth highest performing school in the nation and first in California by U.S. News and World Report.
Dr. Coronado also assisted in the development of the Scholar-Athlete Scholarship and Recognition Awards program,
as well as the Annual Celebration of Women in Sports Program, and fought to keep music and arts programs in the schools.
She earned a Doctorate in Music Education from the University of Southern California, where her doctoral research
was conducted in partnership with the Orange County Performing Arts Center and the Orange County Department of
Education’s ACCESS program, and helped provide the necessary statistics needed to obtain funding for Summer at
the Center, a program for at-risk youth. ACCESS is recognized as an outstanding alternative education program by
the United States Department of Education.
Dr. Coronado was elected to the Orange County Board of Education in 2002, and was re-elected in 2006. As a Member
of the Urban Student Achievement Task Force, she has assisted in producing three nationally-recognized research
studies for our nations’ most ethnically and socio-economically diverse public schools, titled Where We Learn,
Where We Teach, and What We Think. She is currently Chair for the California County Boards of Education Legislative
Committee and served as an Executive Board Member of the Orange County School Boards Association for the past six years.
She has also served as President and Vice-President of the Board.
As a Member of the National Hispanic Caucus of School Board members, she has assisted in reaching thousands of Hispanic
students across the country to promote their scholarship program, which targets Hispanic students who want to become
teachers in our nations’ public schools.
She has been selected as a Member of the California Delegation to the National Republican Convention this fall on behalf
of Senator McCain, and currently serves as President of the Huntington Harbor Republican Women Federated, the largest
Republican Women Federated group in the country.
In her private life, Dr. Coronado is the proud mother of a seventeen-year-old daughter and has owned and operated a
music studio for the past fifteen years. Her music students have won national and international competitions, and
have been accepted to major university music programs throughout the country.
