Meet the teacher

Hello! My name is Angela Petersen and this is my ninth year teaching at Valley Center Elementary. It is my honor to teach in the town where I grew up and where I completed my adolescent schooling. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Liberal Studies and my Teaching Credentials from California State University San Marcos and my Masters in Education from Concordia University Irvine.

I love being a teacher and building relationships with my students. In my free time, some of my favorite things to do are walking my dog (Ellie), hiking, paddle boarding, fishing, camping and spending time with my wonderful husband, family, and friends!

It is my hope that as we navigate this school year as a team, we can provide a meaningful and quality learning experience for all students!

Welcome to 5th Grade!
