Amanda Lim For PV Students

I am Amanda Courtright-Lim, a proud alumni of PVUSD and an active parent deeply committed to fostering inclusive education within my community. Drawing from my personal journey as a student with a learning disability who received robust support from my teachers at Larkspur Elementary, Shea Middle School, and Shadow Mountain High School, I have become a dedicated community leader and advocate.
These formative experiences propelled me towards a successful career in the field of biomedical research, following the completion of both my Bachelor’s of Science and Masters of the Arts from Arizona State University. After spending several years abroad in the United Kingdom, my family and I returned to Arizona, eager to establish roots and provide our growing family with a strong educational foundation. We found the perfect fit within PVUSD, where a school offering a dual immersion model of English and Mandarin resonated deeply with my multicultural family background and our desire for our children to embrace their heritage.
As a devoted mother of two, I recognize the critical role that parental involvement plays in shaping educational outcomes. I take an active leadership role within my daughter’s school community, participating in the parent organization and serving on the school council. Through these engagements, I foster collaborative partnerships to ensure that every child receives the support and resources they need to thrive academically and personally.
Driven by my unwavering belief in the transformative power of education, I continue to advocate for inclusive schooling. My goal to continue to support PVUSD learning environments where every student feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential. It is my firm belief that through public education, we can build a brighter future for all students, regardless of their background or abilities.
