Hesperia welcomes new postmaster

Lucerne Valley native Amanda J. Ledoux was recently named the postmaster of the Hesperia Post Office.

Ledoux oversees 92 employees, retail services, the daily distribution of mail to more than 1,400 P.O. boxes, and 45 delivery routes in Hesperia and Oak Hills.

She replaces former Hesperia Postmaster Londell Wiley, who is now the postmaster of the Adelanto Post Office.

Ledoux was born and raised in Lucerne Valley and graduated from Lucerne Valley High School. She is a 12-year postal employee who began her career as a mail carrier at the Victorville Post Office and most recently served as a supervisor there, according to USPS.

“I’m proud and excited to have been selected for this position,” Ledoux said. “I hope to further the Postal Service’s legacy of outstanding customer service and to contribute to the overall success of the organization.”

Ledoux said that the postal service is "modernizing and continually adapting" to the needs of its customers.

“Our customers are priority one, whether they’re located in a rural community or a bustling, growing city like Hesperia," she added.

The Hesperia Post Office is located at 17240 Olive St., just south of Main Street.
