Diana is honored to serve as PTA President for the 2026–2027 school year and is proud to be entering her third year serving on the PTA board. She is the mom of Arya Gonzalez, a fourth grader at Darby.

At the heart of Diana’s involvement is a love for children and a desire to help create a school community where every child feels welcomed, supported, and connected.

Recording Secretary

Claudia is excited to serve as PTA Secretary this year after having so much fun as a room parent last year! She is a proud mom of two. Her daughter is heading into 1st grade, and her son is an incoming UTK student at Darby. Between dance, gymnastics, sports, and everyday family adventures, there is never a dull moment! As a family, they love exploring new places, trying new activities, and making lots of fun memories along the way.

Outside of PTA, Claudia works in Continuing Medical Education, where she puts her love of organization, communication, and bringing people together to good use. She is excited to stay involved, connect with more Darby families, and help make this school year a fun and memorable one for everyone!

Outside of Darby, Kate works in philanthropy, supporting efforts to improve the health and well-being of communities across California. She brings that same belief in the power of strong, connected communities to her role at Darby.

Kate feels incredibly lucky that her family gets to be part of Darby and wants to give back to a school that already means so much to them. She’s especially excited to use fundraising as a way to bring parents and families closer together, make it easy (and fun!) for people to get involved, and create more of those moments that make Darby feel like a community.
