Hi everyone:

Going into education was a passion of mine as a little girl.  Now with over 20 years in education, I still get a thrill from seeing students learn and find their individual talents.

I was born in Washington, but grew up until the age of 10 in Central and South America.  When we returned we came back to Western Washington.  

I have a Bachelor's Degree from Eastern Washington University and a Master's Degree from Heritage University.  

I am the mother of two grown boys, Joshua and Daniel who live in Seattle.  The rest of my family lives on this side of the water.

Outside of school, I enjoy reading, traveling, cooking. I also like to sew and knit.

I look forward to bringing my passion for learning to the students.  Learning should be fun and challenging, while meeting the needs of EACH student.

Sincerely,

Josette Mendoza
