Lange Luntao

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Lange Luntao is the Founding Executive Director of the Reinvent Stockton Foundation, a charitable organization that aims to expand opportunity and build hope by attracting resources into Stockton and investing in our city's people. A third-generation teacher who was born and raised in Stockton (and a proud Lincoln high school grad), Lange is an honors graduate of Harvard University, an Education Pioneers Alumnus, and recipient of a Fulbright Fellowship to Malaysia.

Lange's father was born in Iloilo City and his mother in the Midwest, but both of their families came to the Central Valley to pursue public education. Lange returned to Stockton in 2012 to work in public service and education - first as the Field Director for the successful campaign to elect Michael Tubbs to the Stockton City Council, as an Early College Sociology Teacher/Teach for America Corps Member at Aspire Langston Hughes Academy, and as a founding volunteer educator with the Stockton "us" history program, an ethnic-studies after school program for high school students in his hometown. In 2016, Lange was elected to the Stockton Unified School Board in (as the first out gay man elected in the San Joaquin Valley) and he served as President of the Board in 2019.

Lange enjoys traveling with his partner Jason, running, skiing, and looks forward to the day when we have reversed the brain drain from our beautiful city.
