My Why
"My art teacher was the person who believed in me as a kid, and I wanted to be that for someone else. I chose Peoria Unified because I live in the district and my niece goes to school here." - Teacher

My Why
"As a student, I was fortunate to have teachers help me find my strengths and voice as a learner. Later, as a teacher in Peoria Unified, I had wonderful mentors that helped me see my potential as a leader and provided opportunities that helped me find my place as an instructional leader. I love helping our teachers staff learn and grow to help them grow our students to their potential." - Teacher
