About Me
- Ms. Priester
- I teach English 9 and 10 at San Pasqual Academy. My students are all foster kids who are working hard to become successful adults. Even though I spend hours reminding them to do their homework, say appropriate words, pay attention, and just be nice, they make me smile everyday as I drive to work. When I'm not at SPA, I enjoy spending time in my new house in Santee with my two puppies, Savannah and Nashville. I spend my summers at Camp Winacka and Camp Whispering Oaks, working for Girl Scouts. Before I began teaching at SPA, I taught and coached at Mountain Empire Jr./Sr. High School, which is my alma mater. I also attended Mount Saint Mary's College, which is a little women's college in Los Angeles. Recently, I was fortunate to receive a full-ride scholarship to Ashford University to earn a Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning with Technology. Through the content I will learn while earning this degree, I hope to help increase the graduation rate among my students and better prepare them for success after graduation. Please explore my blogs and their links to observe, comment on, and contribute to my educational journey.
