Biographical Information
I have been teaching junior high school students for the past twenty five years, and I can't imagine teaching another grade level. I am a graduate of the University of Redlands, but I grew up in the Central Valley of California. This is my twentieth year of teaching at Akers.

BASIC INFORMATION:
Two rules for the classroom
#1: Behave with integrity. Do what you know is right and not what you think you can get away with. Your behavior should always make your parents proud.
#2: Do not call attention to yourself. You are part of a group of students, and your actions should not distract anyone from their tasks.
