| Mr. Arellano |

Ms. Nalepa |
I am excited about school starting. We will be bringing in Web
Design by the end of the year. I graduated from CGUHS in 1990
and Northern Arizona University in 1994 and 2007!! I’ve spent
the last 10 years in technology. Prior to that, I worked
in management.
I love to camp and enjoy traveling everywhere!! I believe
that knowledge and education are gifts that we give ourselves.
My grandfather used to say, “Education is something that no one
can take away from you.” He was correct. It is our job as
students and teachers to further our education and the stay up
to date on new technology in our field. Continued
education is as imperative to me the teacher as it is to the
student.
Thank you, Jeanine E. Nalepa | | |
