This is Terri Romo, Interim Superintendent of Sierra Vista Unified School District. Iβm coming to speak with you about a very important topic & we need our community's help.
As you have heard, we have an employee who has been arrested. Last night, I was contacted by the Sheriffβs Office and informed that they will be releasing an official statement encouraging families to share any information they may have regarding Mr. Benjamin. We stand united with the Sheriffβs Office in urging our community members to come forward with any and all information related to this matter or to any allegation of child abuse.
As shared by the Sheriffβs Office-
Due to the circumstances in this case, the Cochise County Sheriffβs Office is asking anyone who may have come into contact with Mr. Benjamin and experienced any suspicious/criminal activity to contact the Sheriffβs office immediately via SEACOM at 520-803-3550.
Even with all of the safety protocols school districts like SVUSD must follow when hiring staff-like fingerprint clearance cards, reference checks, etcβ¦.It takes an entire community to keep our students safe. We know it may not be easy, but we encourage anyone within this community to come forward and contact law enforcement whenever you suspect a child is in danger.
Iβm a mom, this is my community, and Iβve dedicated my life to caring for children as an educator.
Once againβ¦Please contact the Sheriffβs office immediately via SEACOM at 520-803-3550 or our local police department with any information related to this or any allegations of misconduct with a child.
We must stand together to protect our children. Please join me in this fight.

The Sierra Vista Unified School District Governing Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Terri Romo as Interim Superintendent for the 2025β2026 school year, effective July 1, 2025.
Mrs. Romo brings more than three decades of dedicated service to SVUSD, having served as a student, teacher, principal, and most recently, Assistant Superintendent. A proud product of SVUSD schools, Mrs. Romo is deeply invested in the success of the district and the community it serves.
βWhile I never envisioned myself pursuing the superintendency, I feel called to offer my leadership during this important transition,β Romo shared. βSierra Vista is my home. I am a proud product of this district, and now I have the privilege of raising my children in the same community and schools that helped shape me.β
Throughout her career, Romo has demonstrated a deep commitment to doing what is best for children. Her work has included extensive grant writing, securing millions of dollars in additional funding to support students and staff, and fostering a culture of integrity, transparency, and collaboration.
The Governing Board selected Mrs. Romo to serve as a stabilizing force during the districtβs transition, as the search continues for a permanent superintendent. "Mrs. Romoβs experience, compassionate leadership, and unwavering dedication to SVUSD make her the ideal person to guide our district through the year ahead,β said Governing Board President Donald Lee. βShe understands our schools, our students, and the unique needs of our community.β
Terri Romo will succeed Dr. Eric Holmes, who has served as Superintendent since 2020. The Governing Board extends its sincere appreciation to Dr. Holmes for his five years of service, leadership, and commitment to students, staff, and families.
As the district prepares for a year of significant changeβincluding the launch of the middle school academy concept and the closure of two school campuses in the 26-27 school yearβMrs. Romo stands ready to lead with empathy and decisiveness.
βSVUSD is my home,β Romo stated. βI understand the pride each school holds and the deep impact this next phase will have on our community. I am honored to serve as a bridge during this transition, and I remain committed to strong, compassionate leadership.β
Mrs. Romo holds a Bachelorβs degree from the University of Arizona and a Masterβs in Education from Northern Arizona University. She is certified in teaching, administration, and the superintendency.

A HUGE thank you to the San Pedro Kiwanis of Sierra Vista for supporting our 5th grade Bolts and Dust Devils throughout the school year! πππ
Special appreciation goes to Lolene Paholke for leading this amazing Terrific Kids program and working closely with our fantastic 5th-grade teams at Huachuca Mountain and PDS!
This inspiring program recognizes students for reaching their personal goalsβand we love celebrating their success in fun and memorable ways! π
π Students received at their last ceremony school-colored baseball capsβblue or white for PDS, and yellow for HMEβalong with a permanent marker so they could collect autographs from teachers and classmates. Itβs a special end-of-year tradition, and many students treasure their hats for years!
Each time a student reaches a new goal, they receive a small reward:
β 1st time: certificate, bumper sticker, pencil, and a bag (with school supplies)
β 2nd time: pencil and bookmark
β 3rd time: water bottle and pencil
π Our Super Terrific Kidsβthose who went above and beyondβreceived a disposable camera and a photo album to capture their memories!
After the celebration, students enjoyed free time outside where they proudly signed each otherβs hats. We've even had former students tell us they still have their hat as a keepsake. π«
Thank you to all the families, friends, businesses, and supportersβand especially the San Pedro Kiwanisβfor helping us honor these hardworking, goal-crushing students! We are so proud of them! π₯°
