We Are SFUSD

Our students are our core and we will get through this because of their energy which keeps us going every day.

I like being a substitute for the freedom and the excitement of every day.

I went to McAteer High School back in the 80s - education makes sense in the trajectory of my life and I want to give back by working with teens, especially in career technical education.

I am so proud and encouraged by SFUSD’s commitment and dedication to our students.

SFUSD gives me the opportunity to show my students San Francisco, and not just in a classroom.

It’s nice that we’re doing something to help the community by building a playground through the Wilderness Arts Literacy Collaborative (WALC).

We’re a neighborhood school serving the Excelsior District and community and have so many deep traditions.

I am a constant advocate for young adults moving into their careers in SFUSD.

What I love about SFUSD is the diversity and that people from so many different cultures come together.

I love being of service to students, staff, and families and writing lesson plans and curating curriculum to support social emotional learning.

Every day, I go to school and can work and play - it doesn’t even feel like work.

I’m hopeful that if we can show youth that we care about them and we are here to support them, they can develop into the amazing leaders of tomorrow that we so desperately need.

Our priorities are keeping our students safe, building community and connection with our students, and making sure that every student is sharing their thinking.

I try to end the stigma of talking about mental health and wellness by normalizing those conversations - that’s my way of talking to our youth.

Wellness Ambassadors is a group of students focusing on supporting our peers’ wellness. Last year we created videos for the school and district addressing social justice issues.

I joined Foodwise Teens because I wanted to learn how to cook, learn customer service skills, and get better with socializing with others.

I’m glad to be part of a school where our students exhibit excellence and pride in what they do.

"I want to meet students where they see themselves and build from there with each student who I encounter."

We are excited to help students rebuild the relationship they have with school from the home context and back to the community of a school learner’s context.

My role involves serving as a thought partner and collaborator with teachers and staff with the goal of improving our school's outcomes for students.

Each individual is important to this community - like a puzzle, if just one person, piece, is missing, this whole image is incomplete.

I am proud to be in a school community where we believe in each and every child's brilliance and power while overcoming challenges together.

Someday, I want to learn how to cook, so I can create my own recipes and write a cookbook.

Fifth grade was one of my funniest years and when I grew the most as a student. I will never forget poetry night and our camping trip.
