Message from Jennifer Kvalvik:

It is my pleasure to announce, starting August 2026, that I will be serving as your new President of the Mira Mesa Town Council.

I have been on the Town Council for 20 plus years and have enjoyed being a part of an organization that helps make a difference in the climate of this immense community. I know that we can work together to make our neighbors feel that they can be a part of as well as get involved in the variety of projects, celebrations, and events we organize. I love this community as I have lived here for almost 40 years and taught at Mira Mesa High School for 28 years, recently retiring. I look forward to serving in this capacity knowing that Mira Mesa is a community of traditions and connections and I will continue to foster that philosophy.

I love this quote by Margaret Mead “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; it’s the only thing that ever has” I encourage you to find your community connection.

I look forward to connecting with you.
