When the teacher's role is to guide, providing access to information rather than acting as the primary source of information, the students' search for knowledge is met as they learn to find answers to their questions.

Hi, my name is Lorena DeCristofaro. I have been teaching at Perry since it opened, and have loved every minute of it. I love seeing what kids can do artistically, especially when they usually come to me, with a sense of having No artistic ability. The change and final projects I get are so very rewarding. Take a look at the students art work samples I have in my website. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
My Education and Professional Background
I received my HS from a very small prestigious private High School in Guadalajara Mexico. My BA is in graphic design from the Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara. My Masters degree is in International Education from Framingham State college. I have taught since the school year 1991-1992 . I started teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade to non English speakers, I have taught HS Spanish and have taught HS art for the last 11 years straight. I am very happy doing what I do.

About
Diaz...
Bienvenidos/Welcome to Señor Diaz Spanish class 2020-2021 school year. I am from Venezuela and Spanish is my first language. I want to bring the Spanish Language to Perry High School on four important subjects Vocabulary, Grammar, Culture, and Communication. In addition, I will bring a different tool on how to learn another language that will prepare students for the future career or open other doors on how to learn other languages than Spanish and English.
My Education and Professional Background
I have a Bilingual Education and Spanish degree from University of Arizona.·Certified in Spanish High School Subject.·For six years, I have taught Spanish classes in the college level at University of Arizona. I have been teaching Spanish in High School for 4 years·This is my second year at Perry High School.
My Educational Philosophy
Mr. Diaz likes to see the most effort from the students to try to learn another language. I believe it is my job to teach foreign language in a way that is meaningful to the students everyday world. I want to make my students aware that language is a key to unlock other cultures. Understanding another culture broadens perspectives, opens up minds, and empowers students to succeed and take part as responsible citizens in the world. I also believe that every student learns differently, therefore, differentiating the material is essential in every lesson. Learning through movement, art, music, and visuals helps all students have a chance to grasp concepts they might not understand through lecture/note methods of teaching. I believe that laughter and games are a natural part of a foreign language classroom because, as they learn things that most of them have never been exposed.

Fireng...
Welcome to Perry High School and Investigative Science. This year you will get chances to explore the world around you in a very exciting and meaningful way. This inquiry-based course is designed to investigate chemistry, physics, biology, and earth-space concepts in order to develop your analytical skills and problem-solving techniques. Concepts explored in the course develop foundational knowledge that ensures success in subsequent high school science classes.
My Education and Professional Background
I graduated with a BS in Biology in 1994 and then went on to graduate with distinction in 1998 with a Masters in Curriculum Development from ASU's TEAMS (Teaching Excellence in Math and Science) program. My graduate program had the goal of bringing scientists into the classroom. In 2009 I received a Master's of Education in Educational Leadership. I have been teaching science to students from 7th-12th grade for 17 years.
My Educational Philosophy
Science has always been a subject that excites and intrigues me. From the outer reaches of the cosmos, to the microcosm of the cell or the atom, the grace with which a bird can propel itself through air, the apparent balance found within and among living things, the miracles of modern technology - The natural world is full of beauty, patterns, and mystery waiting to be discovered. It is only natural to be curious and ask the questions why and how and to want to understand the universe. My main goal is to get my students to think critically, scientifically, and creatively in order to solve problems and answer questions about the world. I challenge my students to come to appreciate and understand things which sometimes we take for granted. I hope to pass on my excitement and incite the natural curiosity in my students.

I believe that each student that enters my classroom has the ability to interested in science, and therefore it is my job to peak that interest, make them curious enough to ask who, and why and how...then educate them on all of those concepts they never knew they wanted to know!

Welcome to the Perry High School Marketing & DECA Program!
My Education and Professional Background
Bachelor of Science in Business Administration - Indiana Institute of Technology // Masters of Secondary Education - Grand Canyon University Prior to moving to Arizona I ran a grocery store in Pennsylvania. I moved to Arizona and decided that I could bring a great deal of real world experience to the classroom. After student teaching at Sunnyslope High School I spent my first six years of teaching at Alhambra High School in the Phoenix Union High School District. I arrived at Perry High School for the 2012-1013 school year.
My Educational Philosophy
My philosophy is a simple one in which I want to give my students real world skills that they can use not only in the future, but now in their everyday life.

AP US History is a demanding class, but can also be very rewarding. Students enrolled in this course are expected to do a considerable amount of reading from both the major text and from supplementary sources. This reading will be done outside of class, and class time will be spent in applying the outside reading to the content and themes of this course. We will do this in a variety of ways, including analysis of Primary and Secondary sources, class discussions, writing, and other activities.
My Education and Professional Background
I have a degree in Communications from Eastern New Mexico University (go Greyhounds!) and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Northern Arizona University. I have been fortunate to teach in the Chandler District for the last thirteen years. I have taught 7th grade US History, 8th Grade Government/Economics, and 8th grade US History at Willis Junior High.
My Educational Philosophy
My favorite challenge in teaching is trying to figure out how to incorporate different disciplines into my teaching. I enjoy working with other teachers to integrate Science, Math and Reading into the Social Studies lessons that I teach. I find it rewarding when those ideas actually work.

In our classroom, each person will have the opportunity to grow academically, socially, and emotionally. In this class we study how humans have survived and developed throughout history. As we study the past, we will work together as a group to become more responsible citizens of our classroom, our community, and the world. I will promote a positive classroom environment where students feel safe to express their feelings and ideas. We will all learn from each other's differences and experiences - which is why we study history in the first place!

I will promote a positive classroom environment where students feel safe to express their feelings and ideas. We will all learn from each other's differences and experiences - which is why we study history in the first place!

Building community is vital for a successful learning environment- and I believe when student's leave my classroom they are family.My vision of where my students need to be is what drives my lessons. I am a facilitator of education and I believe it is my job to make every student a reflective learner so that even when troubles arise they are able to stay motivated and continue to strive. I will build self-esteem within my students by providing them with opportunities to succeed every day. This year will not be easy, I have very high expectations for my students, but I know that with time they will exceed those expectations.

Taylor...
Welcome to the wellness room! The wellness room was started to provide mental health support to students in a school setting. We have created a safe place where all students are welcome. It can be particularly helpful for those struggling with stress, anxiety and any other mental, social, or emotional needs.
My Education and Professional Background
Hello, my name is Mrs. Taylor. I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with a Master’s in Social Work degree (MSW) from Metropolitan State University of Denver. Additionally, I have my school social work certification and have received 32 hours of training in mindfulness through mindful schools. I have been in the social work field since 2011. I started out my career in child welfare. I then went on to graduate school where I entered the the school social work profession working at a middle school in Colorado. In 2016, I relocated to Phoenix and went to work for an adoption agency where I case managed birth moms, implemented and ran the agencies volunteer program and helped with the start-up of an after-care program that aimed to provide additional support to birth moms. I then decided I wanted to get back in to school social work, so I came to Perry last year in 2019.
My Educational Philosophy
I am thrilled to see the push for mental health support in our schools. I am excited to be working in the wellness room, supporting the social, emotional, and mental health needs of our students, and helping to create a safe place for all students to come. I am passionate about mental health and preventative services to assist adolescents in navigating a very important and sometimes challenging time in their lives. I want to empower students to seek help when needed, to feel supported, to give them the coping skills they need to be successful both in and out of school, and to make sure they know that they MATTER! My door is always open, please feel free to contact me via phone at 480-224-3044 or email at taylor.lindsayp@cusd80.com.Thank You

Welcome to 9th grade English!
My Education and Professional Background
I graduated from Utah State University with a B.S. in English Education. I then taught at Mohave Middle School in Scottsdale, teaching AVID and 8th grade Language Arts. Although I loved the squirrely middle school age, I decided to move on up to high school. This is my second year at Perry High School and I am happy to be here!
My Educational Philosophy
I'd like to think of myself as a facilitator, rather than a source of all knowledge. I encourage my students to learn how to think for themselves, as real knowledge is knowing where to find the answers. Therefore, my teaching style will include modeling the standard/skills being taught, the use of higher level thinking questions, and plenty of collaboration and group work. My ultimate goal is for my students to become independent learners. I also place particular importance on respect in my classroom. Just to reiterate our fabulous district's goal, kindness is always expected. Our words should be selected carefully knowing how impactful they are. Differences are valued and embraced, and team work leads to excellence. This will make the classroom environment safe and comfortable, one that will enable learning and growth.

Welcome to the Fine Arts webpage!
My Education and Professional Background
I received a BA in Studio Art and Art Education from Rosemont College located outside Philadelphia in Pennsylvania. I've also studied Studio Art and Art History at The American University of Paris and Parsons School of Design Paris. I began my career working as an Art Cataloger at Princeton University, then went into teaching at the elementary, middle school, and high school levels in New Jersey before moving to Arizona, where I taught 7-12 Art in the east valley. I've been at Perry since 2017. This is my 16th year teaching Visual and Fine Arts.
My Educational Philosophy
It is my goal as an art teacher to teach students about the many aspects of what art truly is. Art is not only the production of a work, it is understanding why we feel the need to make it, why others before us needed to create it, what techniques we used to construct it, and why it pleases our eyes after we have finished it. Students should be able to practice art in the following ways: production, fundamentals, aesthetics, critiquing, observing & studying cultures and the history of art. I believe every student has the ability to be creative, and I will you help foster that creativity. Even if you don't think you are artistic, you will be amazed at what you can learn, develop and create throughout the course of this class.

Cagle...
Hello Perry Pumas, My name is Holli Cagle and my caseload is 9th-12th, A-Carl. This is the start of my 25th year in education and 20th year with CUSD. I have my Bachelor of Science and Masters Degrees in Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University. I earned my Counseling Certificate in Advanced Graduate Studies at Ottawa University.
My Education and Professional Background
I taught elementary school for 12 years! Teaching had been a passion of mine since I was a child. My passion, however, evolved into more of a care and concern for my student’s well being beyond the classroom. I love helping high school students with their academic, social, and emotional needs. This will be my 12th year at Perry.While we are all in uncharted waters this year, I look forward to being able to connect with my students during this 2020-2021 school year. However that will look like for you and your family, in person or on-line, we will make the best of it.

Welcome!
Hello Perry Pumas, My name is Holli Cagle and my caseload is 9th-12th, A-Carl. This is the start of my 25th year in education and 20th year with CUSD. I have my Bachelor of Science and Masters Degrees in Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University. I earned my Counseling Certificate in Advanced Graduate Studies at Ottawa University.
My Education and Professional Background
I taught elementary school for 12 years! Teaching had been a passion of mine since I was a child. My passion, however, evolved into more of a care and concern for my student’s well being beyond the classroom. I love helping high school students with their academic, social, and emotional needs. This will be my 12th year at Perry.While we are all in uncharted waters this year, I look forward to being able to connect with my students during this 2020-2021 school year. However that will look like for you and your family, in person or on-line, we will make the best of it.
