Parent Teacher Officers
Heather Vizcaya, PTO President
My name is Heather Vizcaya otherwise known as “Maycie’s
Mom.” I have been married to my husband Yassir (V) for 14 years
and we are a retired military family. We love El Paso and now call
it home. I have always enjoyed serving and volunteering in my
community. I am a full-time wife and mom these days but in my
prior career, I specialized as a contract and budget analyst for
oncology research trials. I look forward to helping our Campus of
Champions have their best school year ever.
Ivonne Valdez, PTO Vice-President
Hi my name is Ivonne Valdez and I am the proud mother of
3 kids. This is my first year to serve in as PTO Vice-
President. My role as the Vice-President is to assist the
president in implementing the goals of the PTO as well as
setting up fundraisers. I enjoy attending my kids sporting
events and enjoy being a full time mom.
Vienna Sepulveda, PTO Secretary
My name is Vienna Sepulveda, and my son Frank is a
student at CMSSA. I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas.
I attended Canutillo ISD from Kinder through 12 and
graduated Canutillo High School in 2008. (Once an Eagle,
Always an Eagle!) At the moment, I am a full-time wife
and mom of 3 children. I graduated with a Bachelor’s
degree and started a career in case management. I have
worked with Child Protective Services and as well with
Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) for Unaccompanied
Minors crossing the border for a better life. I look forward
to help and support our children throughout the school year.
Noemi Velazquez, PTO Treasurer
Hi! I'm Noemi Velazquez , a proud Canutillo High School
graduate and El Paso native. As a full time mom and wife,
my days are pretty hectic! I have an awesome 7th grader at
CMS and a fearless 3rd grader at JDE. When I'm not busy
being a mom or attending PTO meetings, I work part-time
from home taking care of the accounting for our family
owned business. My second year volunteering as part of the
CMS PTO has been rewarding. I’m now thrilled and loving
being the Treasurer for PTO as it has been full of exciting
challenges and opportunities. I'm always looking for new
ways to support and encourage our children's education and
hope you will join us too!
Gloria ‘Gigi’ Garcia, PTO
Member Coordinator
I'm Gloria or Gigi, a former CISD student and
proud to be an Eagle! I'm excited to be the Member
Coordinator for a second term! I have always been
passionate about helping others and volunteering,
not only in my childrens' schools but with the
Ronald McDonald House Charities, Youth Impact,
and other organizations. I firmly believe that every
student has the potential to succeed especially if we
become immersed in their learning. In my previous
role as a Treasurer for BCE, I saw firsthand the
power of a positive, supportive school community
and I know we will offer the same at CMSSA. I am
committed to creating a safe and inclusive
environment at CMSSA where every student can thrive.
I'm looking forward to working with all of you to create a positive, supportive school community where every student can reach their full potential.
