What's Ernest Righetti High School?
Our high school was built in 1963 to prevent crowding at Santa Maria High School.
-I've really appreciated the teamwork and collaboration. I've been happy to improve things for students, it's been fun!
-Don't set limits on your future. Network, network, NETWORK.
-Being apart of the AVID team and celebrating our development and accomplishments.
-I've learned that anything is possible, the importance of being resilient, and that when being focused anything can be accomplished.
1. "There's good and bad days. But I love my students. That's all that matters because it's about the students. I like teaching art, but that's secondary."
2. "Pick a major in college that you will love. You're going to spend more time at work than anything else. You have to crazy love it!"
3. "I've had a lot. Volunteering for a pie fundraiser, getting whipped topping all over me. Or falling down in class that one time - that was funny."
4. "I have to be more patient with myself. I used to be awkward and nervous when I made a mistake. I can't be afraid to say 'oh this is wrong, start over.'"
