About Mr. Henry

Hello Dana Families

Originally a Northern California Bay Area native, I made San Diego my permanent home when I attended UCSD in the 80's. I majored in Psychology and minored in Science, as well as completing three years of an electrical engineering major.  I am proud to be a teacher and grateful to work with the most dedicated professionals and fun people who are also crazy enough to do this for a living.  

In 2004 I began my teaching career and have been with San Diego Unified ever since. I am credentialed in  Science Single Subject, K-6 Multiple Subjects, Industrial and Technical Education, and I earned a Master's in Education. I have taught 2nd grade, and 4th through 8th grades!

The bottom line is that I love to teach and continually learn about science. Through science I view the world with passion, wonder, and clarity.  My goal is to nurture students' natural curiosity and teach them to explore through inquiry. Hands on, minds on.  I want to get them to make connections, create solutions, and to take risks.  Think scientifically about everything!
