Lori Martinez
Transitional Navigator
Hi, my name is Lori Martinez, and I am the Transitional Navigator/Counselor for Amador Adult Education. I’m here to support you throughout your educational journey—before, during, and after you complete your High School Diploma or GED.
I can help you explore Dual Enrollment college classes, prepare for the workforce, and create an education plan that fits your goals.
I’m also available if you need someone to talk to or need guidance connecting with local resources. My goal is to help you navigate the many agencies and services in our county so you can move forward with confidence.
Matt Medellin
Principal
I am proud to welcome you to our school community.
At Amador Adult Education, we know that every student has a different story. Some students are working toward completing their high school diploma or earning their GED. Others are learning English, preparing for citizenship, or gaining the skills and confidence needed to enter a new career. Whatever brings you through our doors, we want you to know that your goals matter, your journey matters, and you belong here.
Our programs are designed to help you take your next step. Through ESL and Citizenship classes, we help students build language skills and become more connected to their communities. Through our High School Diploma and GED Prep programs, we provide pathways for students to reach an important educational milestone. Our Phlebotomy and Medical Assistant programs help prepare students for careers in the healthcare field and open doors to new possibilities.
We also believe that education is most powerful when it connects to opportunity. Through job fairs, career connections, and pathways to employment, we work to help our students turn what they learn in the classroom into meaningful opportunities beyond our campus.
Every class attended, every test passed, every new skill learned, and every goal accomplished is a step toward a brighter future. We celebrate those steps with you.
Whether you are starting over, starting something new, or simply ready to take the next step, Amador Adult Education is here for you.
Your past does not determine where you are going. Your goals are worth pursuing, and your next chapter can begin today.
