Mrs. Cassandra Richmond

English Language Development Coach

Hi there! I'm Mrs. Richmond and I went to school at Vanguard University. I am a proud Hoover Hornet and I love working with all of our students and teachers. In my free time, I love to watch movies with my husband, play with my dog Thor, and spend time with my friends and family. My favorite thing about Hoover is the strong sense of community amongst our staff. You truly feel like you are a part of a team working for something important.

Mrs. Lynette Ridder

Speech-Language Pathologist

Hello! I'm Mrs. Ridder and I went to school at Cal State LA and Loma Linda University. I am the Speech-Language Pathologist at two different school sites in DSUSD. I am thankful for the people I work with and enjoy spending time with my husband, family, and friends. My favorite thing is how the students and staff work together to make Hoover thrive. Go Hoover!
