A Rich Tradition

We have been providing quality K-8 education since 1924! Our alumni have become attorneys, dentists, doctors, landscape gardeners, homemakers and health professionals. We are honored to have been part of their journey and instill in them the desire to serve others in their communities.

The Multi-Grade Advantage

We have one classroom at our school: 1-8.

You may be wondering how we can effectively teach that many grades at one time! You don’t have to worry. In fact, our teachers love the multi-grade setting and there are some unique advantages your children will experience in these rooms. These include:

Stability

Having the same teacher for several years develops trust and gives your child a sense of emotional security. Your child will also receive better instruction because the teacher knows how your child learns best and their areas of strength and weakness and can provide targeted instruction to them.

Flexibility

Students can easily take part in higher or lower level skills in particular subject areas instead of being locked into their grades’ curriculum.

Collaborative

Older students are taught valuable leadership skills as they help younger students learn and this relationship helps the cognitive and social development of both younger and older students.

Re-Teaching & Pre-Teaching

Older students benefit from “re-teaching” where they hear previously learned lessons which reinforces and clarifies their learning. Younger students benefit from “pre-teaching” where they “eavesdrop” on lessons for older students which stimulates and prepares their thinking for future lessons.

Independence

Students are taught how to work independently and not be so reliant on others for learning.

Our Teacher

Wendy Lizarraga-Hernandez

1-8 Grade Teacher/Principal

“FAITH. It’s all about believing. You don’t know how it will happen, but you know it will.”

Hi and welcome to this new year! I am the 6th-8th grade teacher and principal! I hold a Bachelor's degree in Child Development and Sociology and a Master's degree in Education with a concentration in counseling and guidance. I have a deep passion for reading, writing and social studies. I love history! I love to teach Bible class! I love to learn about Jesus and show others about Him. I believe in real world connections as part of my teaching style. As an educator I find myself in awe of my student’s growth and learning. I love to be in the classroom! I feel blessed to be able to make a difference in the lives of my students every day.

In the summer, I enjoy road trips, binging on my favorite shows, reading, listening to music, finding great little coffee shops, coloring books and word search puzzles. One of my favorite fun days is Disneyland trips with my family and friends! And I love shopping!
