Middle School History

I have a deep satisfaction teaching middle schoolers about history. It is not dead – These students are living, learning and changing their world as they experience the past, participate in the present, and make an impact on their future.

Kari Johnson   

Middle School Science

"The best thing about being a science teacher is seeing how excited students become when they make connections.  The concepts we explore in science help people better understand their world.  If we understand how our natural world works, maybe we'll take better care of it?"

Guerneville for over 20 years. It is a very special community and school. I am happy to have the privilege of working here. Along with my job as K-4 Special Ed teacher, I have especially enjoyed developing the garden with Paula Green in this last few years.

Community Day School

I enjoy teaching in the Community Day School because I have an opportunity to work one-on-one with my students everyday. I also get the chance to work with students on subjects from early civilization to science and algebra. Together we make the Community Day School a place where everyone can learn and succeed.

Brenda Robinson

One thing I love about teaching in this small town is that I get to watch my students grow up and take their places in our community and the world. I love to hear about their successes and to bump into them years after they’ve been in my class.
