My name is Jacob Jun (rhymes with fun), and I am a teacher in the Salinas Union High School District, teaching classes at Rancho San Juan High School.
This year, I will be teaching Intro to Computer Science (a Python course), AP Principles, and Cybersecurity.
I am a former high school and college dropout who had to figure out the importance of my own education. My hope is to use those experiences to inform my teaching in order to give students new perspectives, build up their confidence, and help them to take calculated risks.
I am a project-based learning instructor with a CTE credential (that means I've got experience!). I expect a lot out of my students, and I hope they expect a lot from me.
Go, Trailblazers!
Go, Class of 2025!
