About Ms. Almeida

Hello! I'm Alex Almeida and this is my 13th year of teaching English. I taught in the Deer Valley Unified School District for four years, then moved to Marana to teach at Mountain View High School in 2017. I currently live with my sister and (sadly) have no pets. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy traveling, going to concerts, reading fantasy and contemporary novels, and spending too much time trying to find a new show on Netflix.

As for my career, I can't picture myself doing anything else. I graduated from Arizona State University (yeah, yeah, I know) with a degree in Secondary Education - English in 2013, and I have been teaching ever since.  I absolutely love building connections with my students and making sure that they are empowered to use their voice in my class. Even with this year starting at home, I look forward to meeting all of you and welcome your feedback so that we can make this a successful school year for everyone.
