Staff Fall 2010

 

Faculty and Staff
 
Mid-Peninsula's faculty is a specialized breed of educators who are caring, innovative, energetic and inspirational. They are highly skilled, extensively trained and deeply committed to this progressive brand of education. They don't just teach their identified subjects. They form a team that collaborates in seeking the overall well-being of every student—in their classes, in others' classes and in life beyond the classroom.
 
These vibrant and talented people don't approach their work as merely a job. They know how important their role is in the daily life of a young person at Mid-Peninsula. We are fortunate to have such a dedicated group of faculty and staff to ensure that life at Mid-Peninsula High School continues to be a rewarding and fulfilling experience for our students and each other.
