I retired in 2004 after 32 years teaching in the
Santee School District. I taught 8th grade English
and U.S. History for over twenty years before moving
on to a vice principalship in 1995. In 1998 I made
the decision that I wanted to retire sometime between
2003 and 2005 and that I wanted to spend my last years
in education in the classroom with students rather
than be in the office handling discipline and
suspensions. From 1998 until retirement I taught 4th,
5th and 6th grades. Now that I am retired I am
spending my time traveling, reading, and watching the
Padres and the Chargers!
