Hello, My name is Ms. Cook and I am delighted to be one of your scholar’s 6th grade teachers. I earned my B.A. in Liberal Studies from Cal State Fullerton in June 1991. I completed my Clear Multiple Subject Teaching Credential in June 1992. I earned my first masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction in June 2002 and my second masters degree in Educational Administration in June of 2007.
I have been teaching in Hesperia Unified School District since January 1996. During this time I have taught 2nd through 6th grades and Gifted and Talented. For four years, I was an Assistant Principal. However, I realized that I missed having my own class full of scholars and decided to return to the classroom. I am so thankful that I did. I love every minute with my scholars.
During my free time, I can be found hanging out with my two horses and cats at my home. The other pass time that I enjoy immensely is capturing sunrises and sunsets with my camera. I love to watch each one evolve in a unique way.
