Welcome scholars! My name is Chelsea Diaz (formely Brazil) and this will be my eleventh year teaching English/History at Harvest Park Middle School. Eighth grade is a pivotal year in your educational journey, and I am excited to face the challenges with you and make our classroom as engaging and innovative as possible.
I went to school in PUSD myself (graduated from Foothill High School) and received my Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism/media studies with a minor in American Indian studies at San Diego State University. I completed my teacher credentials in English and history at Cal State University, East Bay.
When I'm not grading essays, I love spending time with my husband, Carlos, and our families. (Fun fact: my brother-in-law is also a teacher in PUSD!) One of my favorite roles is being Auntie to my two nephews, Miles and Maddox, and my niece, Maple. In my free time, I enjoy reading, doing puzzles, spending time outdoors, exploring new places, and relaxing with my two cats, Brie and Alani.
Don't hesitate to reach out to me with any other questions you may have. I'm looking forward to a great year with all of you.
