Every Child Deserves To

LEARN - THRIVE - GROW

Circa 2018

I’m LeShawn Holcomb - an educator, nonprofit leader, community member, and Trustee on the Sausalito Marin City School District Board. I have dedicated my career to creating opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and thrive. From my years as a teacher and instructional coach at Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Academy to my current work as a Dean of Student Success at Tamalpais High School, I have had the privilege of supporting students across their educational journey. As a Marin City resident and Executive and Artistic Director of the Griot Theater Company, I believe strong schools are built when educators, families, and community work together around the needs and potential of every child.

My campaign is centered on three commitments: Trust, Opportunity, and Accountability. I want to strengthen trust through transparent leadership and authentic partnership with families and educators; expand opportunities by connecting students to rigorous academics, enrichment, community organizations, and resources; and promote accountability by keeping student achievement, responsible governance, and measurable progress at the center of our work. I am committed to strengthening our Community Schools model and helping build a district where every student is challenged, supported, and prepared to succeed.

“I am honored to have been unanimously appointed to the Sausalito Marin City School District Board of Trustees on August 13, 2026, and I look forward to serving our students, families, and community.” - LeShawn Holcomb
