Stephany Morales-Valentin for BOE

12/18/2025

Yesterday, I had the honor of attending the recognition ceremony for Bryan McCarty, Head Wrestling Coach and Special Education Teacher at Platt High School, and a proud inductee into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame with over 500 career wins.

As a parent and Board of Education member, it was inspiring to witness his impact firsthand and to watch the Platt Panthers compete against Enfield.

Thank you, Coach McCarty, for your decades of dedication, leadership, and commitment to our students and athletes. 💙🤼‍♂️

✨ Oath of Office – Meriden Board of Education ✨

Today, I had the honor of taking my Oath of Office, administered by Superior Court Judge Donald Green. This moment is truly humbling, and I am deeply thankful and grateful for the opportunity to serve the students, families, and community of Meriden.

Thank you to everyone who attended—our former elected officials, our newly elected leaders, and all who continue to support and believe in me. Your presence made this moment even more meaningful.

I look forward to working together to uplift our schools, empower our youth, and help build a stronger future for our city. 💙📚

I wanted to take a moment to reshare my statement as Stephany Morales-Valentin, candidate for the Meriden Board of Education!

If we haven’t met yet or you’re wondering why I decided to run for the BOE, please take a moment to read my post — it comes from the heart.

Statement from Stephany Morales-Valentin, Candidate for Meriden Board of Education

I was asked why I’m running as both a Democrat and a Working Families Party candidate. It’s a great question — and one I’m proud to answer.

I am a proud Democrat who chose to also run with the Working Families Party because both share my core values of putting people before politics.

Together, they represent a commitment to fairness, transparency, and advocacy for working families, educators, and students — values that reflect the heart of our Meriden community.

My focus as a Board of Education candidate is to ensure that every dollar spent in our schools directly benefits our students, supports our teachers, and strengthens the relationship between families and schools. While broader financial policies are made at the city and state levels, I believe in strong collaboration, accountability, and open communication to make sure our education system remains both effective and financially responsible.

At the end of the day, my campaign is about service and community. When we invest in our children and support working families, we invest in Meriden’s future — together.
