Welcome, parents and students! My name is Jennifer Valenzuela and I am a proud Chula Vista native. As a child I attended my neighborhood schools: Halecrest Elementary, Hilltop Middle School, and graduated from Hilltop High School. In 2005, I graduated from San Diego State University with a B.A. in Liberal Studies and a specialization in Chicano Studies. I graduated from the SDUSD Bilingual Credential Program in 2008. I have been a teacher for 7 years and have worked with a dynamic group of children and faculty. The schools I have taught for are Hamilton Elementary in City Heights, Spreckels Elementary in University City, and Carson Elementary in Linda Vista. Every school has given me new perspectives and an appreciation for diverse community. I am extremely excited to be part of the High Tech family!

When I'm not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my husband, 8 year old son, Diego, and 4 year old daughter, Liliana. My hobbies include reading, cropping (or scrapbooking), and dancing.
