Sharon Pinkerton

Sharon Pinkerton has served the Board of Trustees for Victor Valley Community College District since December 15, 2020.

Born in Nashville, Tennessee and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, Trustee Pinkerton went on to earn her degree in dietetics from Southwestern Adventist College in 1983. From 1985 to 1998 she provided patients with life-changing nutritional guidance therapy at Loma Linda University Medical Center.

Trustee Pinkerton moved to the High Desert region with her husband John in May of 1993 as he pursued his career in education. Together they built their unconventional home in Pinon Hills, and raised their three children: Angela, Sharon and John. Now grandmother to seven grandchildren: T.J., Thomas, Tristan, Justice, Marc, Vivianna, and Olivianna, and great grandmother to one grandson, Dakaral, Trustee Pinkerton takes great pride in her role as the matriarch of the family.

Trustee Pinkerton’s passion for the community and to the Victor Valley College students is why she chose to serve on the VVCCD Board of Trustees. She is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion, and the student experience is of her highest priority.
