• My name is Sarah Whelihan, and I am honored to be your child’s sixth-grade teacher. I look forward to working with you and your child to help them reach their full potential. We will have many wonderful experiences and opportunities to learn and grow in the days ahead.

    In an effort to get to know each other, I'd like to share a little about myself.  I graduated from San Diego State University and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies. Next, I completed a multiple-subject teaching credential and earned my Master's in Education from National University. I love teaching, and I am proud to be a teacher. This is my twenty-fourth year of teaching.  I have worked with students at all grade levels, and I am dedicated to teaching.

    I believe in creating a learning environment that is engaging, challenging, hands-on, safe, and nurturing. I want us to work together to cultivate responsible, hard-working, enthusiastic students who can and will make positive contributions to their community.  I hold high expectations of both myself and my students.  Communication is extremely important, so I urge you or your child to contact me with questions or concerns at (858) 794-4500 or by Parent Square. This is a new year for all of us, and I will do whatever I can to make the transition as smooth as possible. Thank you, and I look forward to working together to make this year a great one.

    Sincerely,

    Sarah Whelihan
