About The Teacher
HI! My name is Bethanny McGuire and I am so excited to be teaching at Stella Maris Academy this upcoming school year! I come from a long line of teachers (I'm the 4th generation teacher in my family) and have known since I was in 6th grade that I wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. I was born in Chicago, IL but have lived in San Diego since I was five years old. I was raised in Rancho Penasquitos and attended public schools in the Poway Unified School District graduating from Mt. Carmel High School. After high school I attended Purdue University and later California State University San Marcos where I received my secondary credential. I taught exclusively at the high school level at Valley High School in Escondido, as well as my alma mater, Mt. Carmel High School. I loved my experiences at both schools but they don't even begin to compare to my first year at Stella Maris Academy. I had such a fantastic first year at SMA and I can't wait to start this new school year! Some additional facts: I LOVE dogs! I have two babies, Tito, a six year old Chihuahua and Zoey, an 8 month old English Bulldog. I got married in Ireland (My whole family, including my in-laws are Irish) I LOVE to travel My favorite book is East of Eden by John Steinbeck I love music...my ipod is always on me and my favorite band right now are The Black Keys

Mission
My goals for the Stella Maris Middle School Language Arts program are to continue to build on students' previously acquired vocabulary and grammar skills, read an extensive variety of literature, and create a really strong writing program.
