Annie Barrett

I teach PE 1 and Yoga.

My one word promise is optimistic.

I attended San Jose State.

I am a Santa Cruz High alumnae.

I teach for many different reasons. I got into teaching because I come from a long line of teachers. My Mom was a teacher at Santa Cruz High School for 35 years and I saw how much she loved her job. It is such a rewarding career to be able to share your knowledge with others, and see how they learn and grow.

I became a PE teacher specifically because of my love for being physically active and living a healthy lifestyle. I’ve enjoyed playing different sports throughout my life and found a passion for working out at a young age. I teach because every individual deserves a safe learning environment where they can learn, make mistakes, and have a voice.

I love seeing my students empowered and encouraged to physically and mentally be their best selves. These are the times when we need physical activity the most, because it truly does benefit us in all categories of our lives. Remember to keep moving, keep positive, and breathe!
