Jennifer Dossett & Isabella Akana

My name is Jennifer Dossett and I will be your teacher for United States History, World History or Band. Welcome to the 2021-22 school year! I’m very excited to get back to the classroom and meet my students in person!

Here are some fun facts about me:

• I was born and raised in San Diego

• Both of my parents went to Clairemont!

• I went to San Diego State (Go Aztecs) for my undergrad degree in social science, my teaching credential, and now my masters

• I did my student teaching at CHS in 2014 and have been here ever since

• I love teaching history because I love storytelling and learning about why things are the way they are

• I love to watch students figure out how to think

• The Padres are the best team in baseball

• I love to bake (strudels, scones, even apple pandowdy)

I look forward to seeing my students and hearing their voices. I am excited to learn with and from you all this school year. Please keep my contact info in case you have questions, would like support, or should need to communicate with me: jdossett@sandi.net or (858) 751-4812.

Isabella Akana

My name is Isabella Akana and I will be your student teacher for 11th grade United States History. Welcome to the 2021-22 school year! I am Miss Dossett’s student teacher and I am very excited to get into the classroom and meet my students in person!

I was born and raised in San Diego and graduated from San Diego State with my BA in Social Science. I am currently in SDSU’s Teaching Credential Program in hopes to become a certified teacher at the end of this school year! I love music and was in choir in high school. I also love watching baseball and my favorite team is the Padres. I am passionate about history because there is always something new to learn. There are so many perspectives and voices within history and it is exciting to learn them and get a more well rounded understanding of why things are the way they are.

I look forward to learning and growing with the students. Please keep my contact info in case you have questions, would like support, or should need to communicate with me:
