Mrs. Beall

Hi! I am Mrs. Beall and I am very excited to be your teacher this year. It is going to be a great year and I am looking forward to seeing the growth that everyone will make.

 

I am a native of Arizona. Although the heat gets me every summer, I cannot imagine myself living elsewhere. My family lives here in Arizona, so I do not have to travel far to visit. I have a daughter who is 15 years old and is a sophmore at Boulder Creek and a son who is in second grade in the Madarin program here at GP. I have two cats named Maisy and George. 

 

This is my 18th year teaching at Gavilan Peak. I have taughts grades 3-6. I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science in Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University and earned my Master's of Art in Teacher Leadership from University of Phoenix. This is my seventeenth year at Gavilan Peak, teaching third through sixth grade.   Every year, I get excited to see how the students change and how much they learn.

 

I know this year is going to be an excellent one!
