Meaghan, P.E. Teacher
Meaghan has been a PE/Health teacher since 2015. She loves being outdoors, especially at the beach, playing sports, and doing activities with her kids. She loves true crime books and documentaries, and fills her brain with random facts. For example! Did you know that soil acidity levels determines the color of hydrangea flowers?!

Ebru, Math Teacher
I love helping students discover the logic, creativity, and confidence that math can unlock. Being a part of an LGBTQ+ affirming school means a lot to me —I believe every student deserves to feel safe, valued, and celebrated for who they are. Outside of teaching, I’m always up for a good puzzle, a strong coffee, or a meaningful conversation.
