“Dale Donohoe has been a strong supporter of families and education in the Santa Clarita Valley for years,” said Sara Brown, community outreach supervisor for Santa Clarita Valley International, a K-12 public charter school. “SCVi is thrilled to honor Dale Donohoe for his direct involvement with the school.”
What started out as a small second-story lease blossomed into a partnership benefiting an SCV business and the educational community, Donohoe said Monday, and it’s been great for both parties.
“They were in a really small facility on Smyth Drive, and they were looking to make a big jump into a much larger space,” Donohoe said, talking about the start of the relationship between the school and his property development and management company. “We were willing to take a risk on them, and it really paid off for both of us.”
When SCVi first moved to its current location just over six years ago, it became clear Donohoe was going to be more than a landlord, officials said.
He listened to what the school leaders at SCVi aimed to accomplish and he helped us find solutions that weren’t a compromise of the school’s values, Raskin said.
SCVi began as a small k-8 school and now serves more than 1,000 students, according to Brown.
Dale and his wife, Tamara, both graduated from Canyon High School in 1980 and have been married almost 30 years ago.
Donohoe feels it is important to give back to the community and supported families and youth locally by his direct involvement with many nonprofit organizations in Santa Clarita.
Donohoe is very active member of his congregation, Church of the Canyons, and has previously served on the boards of both The Santa Clarita Boys and Girls Club and The American Heart Association.
He most recently served on the board at Henry Mayo Newhall Hospital and the SCV Child & Family Center.
“We look forward to continuing to partner with him and Intertex on future projects, such as the iLead school in Lancaster,” said SCVi co-founder Amber Raskin, “because (Intertex) embodies our core value of collaboration so well.”
Intertex developed The Shops at Tourney, Westridge Executive Building, Centre Pointe Marketplace and the Bridgeport Marketplace, among others.
The Vision in Education Dinner takes place Saturday, March 21.
