About the Staff

I'm Nancy Linville, the teacher in the classroom daily working with students in the Performance Academy. I am a native of Kansas City, (Go Chiefs!) I completed my undergraduate in journalism at the University of Kansas. and hold a Masters in Education from Arizona State University. I have worked in classrooms with students from preschool through eighth grade with most of my time spent working with adolescents. In addition to the Performance Elementary STEAM Club.

My husband and I have been in Arizona for nearly 25 years. During that time we have become parents to two children, both of whom competed in sports when they were growing up. Our daughter, Sam, played competitive soccer and now attends Northern Arizona University where she is studying Fitness & Wellness. Our son, Drew, still plays golf but not competitively. He will attend Arizona State this year where he is studying film. His goal is to move abroad to produce and edit historical documentaries.

When I'm not at school I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling and volunteering in the community.

I can be reached by email First.Last@GilbertSchools.net or by calling the school at 480-813-1240.
