My name is Susanna Ventura and I have been teaching since 2008. I have been at Mingus Union High School since 2016 and I have taught U.S. History, World History, AP World History, and the AVID elective. 

I am a graduate of Mingus Union High School and Northern Arizona University, receiving my Bachelors of Social Work in 2005 and Masters of Elementary Education in 2007. I earned my credentials to teach high school in 2016.

My teaching career began in the Flagstaff Unified School District where I taught at Kinsey Community School and Sinagua Middle School. After returning to the Verde Valley, I taught at Mountain View Preparatory School for four years before joining the faculty at MUHS.

I love teaching and learning about history and am grateful for the opportunity to share my love of learning with young people in my community.
