Mrs. Tye began her journey with PUSD as a dedicated parent volunteer, serving as a Room Mom at Golden Springs Elementary School and later as an active member of the PTA at both Golden Springs and Lorbeer Middle School. Inspired by her involvement in her children’s education, she pursued a career in teaching.

A lifelong resident dedicated to her community, Mrs. Tye has lived in the City of Diamond Bar since 1982 with her husband and high school sweetheart, Diamond Bar Councilmember Steve Tye. Together, they are the proud parents of three children—Kelly, Matthew, and Jeffrey—and the delighted grandparents of Brooklyn, Carter, and their newest grandchild, Olivia.
