School Board Members

Doreen Quinn, Founder/Board Chair

CEO, New Haven YFS

A longstanding passion for education and the social/ emotional development of youth, Doreen has been employed at New Haven Youth and Family Services for 37 years. Formerly educated in social work, she believes a successful and edifying educational experience is paramount to instilling hope in our students. She founded Trade Tech High School in 2005.

Paul Polito

Retired, Partner Magnus Blue

I am a native Californian, oldest of 9 baby boom children. I have been married for 48 years to Helen, with whom I raised 5 children. I graduated from Loyola University of Los Angeles in 1969 with a BBA in management. I started a greeting card and poster business with some friends in 1970. The business never achieved the goals we had for it. I then became an auditor for the Board of Equalization, enrolled in post graduate studies and became a CPA. I worked for Deloitte as an auditor, then ran the audit department for a small firm in Burbank, CA. After moving to Oceanside, I founded a public accounting firm in 1981 which grew to about 25 persons when I retired in 2022. I always found school difficult and I love to work with my hands. I believe that one of the worst things we have done in public education is that we stopped the shop classes. Boys in their teens need these classes and the male mentorship that usually accompanies them. I am thrilled to be on the board of Trade Tech. I wish there had been a school like Trade Tech when I was in high school!

Mary Anne Herman

Retired, CFO New Haven YFS

Retired CPA who supports alternate style of Education instruction.

Daryl McFarland

Vice-President, Sun Country Builders

My interest in Trade Tech HIgh stems from the need to prepare students, who may or may not be college bound, for badly needed, high paying trade related jobs that can’t be shipped overseas. I believe we are failing certain of our student population if we don’t prepare them for something other than college.
