Math Teacher at YVHS Passes Away

Sadly, our friend and MDEA representative, Carmel Westcoat passed away over the weekend. Carmel was a wonderful friend and could always be relied on to not only listen, but to share her insight without hesitation. Carmel was an inspiration to me through her dedication to both students and teachers.

Besides missing a friend, teachers have also been struggling to fill in the gaping whole of all that Carmel did. She was an integral part of the math department, running the CAHSEE math prep for YVHS students, doing after school tutoring, and organizing summer math programs for students with DVC.

Carmel will always be loved and missed.

Below is a link to her obituary in the Contra Costa Times, along with details of the funeral service this Friday, February 25th.
