Patrick Henry High School se complace en dar la bienvenida a varias caras nuevas en el campus, ya que varios miembros del personal se jubilaron el a\u00f1o pasado.<\/p>\n
In the math department, we have Tomas Cometto coming from Clairemont High School, Chris Coman from Hoover High School, Tim Reinheimer coming from Alba, and Sheldon Watkins coming from out of state \u2014 South Carolina.<\/p>\n All four teachers have a wealth of teaching experience and are already showing great promise in helping our students learn how to solve equations. Watkins will be teaching both math and science as well as coaching our baseball team.<\/p>\n Rachel Samuelsz is our new choir teacher and comes to us from Hoover High School. She is filled with great ideas on how to grow our program and we\u2019re excited to hear our students sing under her leadership.<\/p>\n Tony Velarde and Michael Maley have joined us as our new NJROTC instructors. Maley started at the end of last year and this is Velarde\u2019s first year in a teaching assignment, although he had experience working with young recruits as part of his work in the military. Malay retired last year from the Navy and joins us with great enthusiasm for working with high school students.<\/p>\n Richard Abney is our new engineering teacher and had experience supporting students at Hoover as a volunteer. His extensive career working at Qualcomm as an engineer will serve our students well as they learn from someone who was in the field for over 20 years.<\/p>\n Donald Samuels is a counselor from Mission Bay and he\u2019ll be working with our students on a part-time basis.<\/p>\n We were also fortunate to add Michael McVeigh who will be teaching Spanish and has experience teaching high school from Scripps Ranch High School. He most recently was a resource teacher supporting other world language teachers in the district. Allison Medina is our new ASL (American Sign Language) teacher and is excited to work with high school students teaching first and third year ASL. We are thrilled to have them both join our world language teaching team.<\/p>\n In science, we are adding two new teachers. Erin Fink, a long-time Henry substitute and student teacher extraordinaire from last year and she will be teaching physics. Students loved Ms. Fink and we\u2019re lucky to have been able to keep her at Henry. We also added Steven Maloney who is a chemistry and physics teacher this year. Mr. Maloney has over 20 years of teaching experience and is already making an impression with his students.<\/p>\n We added two new English teachers to Henry. Amy Vanella comes to us from De Portola Middle School in Tierrasanta and has been teaching there for over a decade. Jim Hernandez joined us after working at Mira Mesa last year and also had high reviews from his last assignment. This fine duo will certainly add to our already outstanding cadre of English teachers at Henry.<\/p>\n Patrick Schoettler joined us after working at Millennial Tech Middle School. Mr. Schoettler will be teaching history and heading up our AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination) program. His enthusiasm and expertise is hard not to notice when working with his students and we\u2019re thrilled to have him as a Patriot.<\/p>\n Sara Guinn is also a new face in the counseling office and she is ready to help anyone make an appointment with a counselor or provide any other support to the students at Henry.<\/p>\n And finally, our IT department is headed up by Mr. Jim Spradlin, joining us from the district\u2019s IT department and we\u2019re excited to have his new energy around campus to help with our growing technology needs.<\/p>\n \u00a1Ciertamente fue un verano ocupado para nosotros y estamos muy ansiosos por ver c\u00f3mo nuestras nuevas incorporaciones contribuyen a nuestro excelente programa en PHHS!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n PHHS opened its doors on Aug. 28 to over 2,400 students. Students settled into their new schedules quickly and the first week started off in a positive format even with excessive heat indexes that were reported around the city.<\/p>\n The students ended the week with a Welcome Back Rally where the students cheered their teachers who competed in events and were introduced by department with a theme song to get the year started in a fun way. Link Crew team members led the rally and introduced a theme of \u201cOdd Rooms against the Even Rooms\u201d to create unity and friendly competitions among the students.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Girl\u2019s golf has started off with a special event. Senior Darla Christensen aced the menacing, uphill par 3 nine-hole at Mission Trails on Wednesday in her match against Helix High.<\/p>\n Getting a hole in one is never easy but to have it occur during a match makes it extra special for Darla and our team. Go Patriots!<\/p>\n Our cross-country team is also proud to welcome a new freshman joining our school from De Portola Middle School.<\/p>\n Cormac Evans has been seen running around the neighborhood pushed by his mom Cindy in various half marathons around town.<\/p>\n Through this interest, she asked cross-country coach, Andrew Myette, if there could be space on the cross-country team at PHHS for him to participate in.<\/p>\n Coach Myette responded positively from the beginning and as a direct result, Evans is officially on the team and competing when possible in a few meets that are wheelchair accessible.<\/p>\n He has been attending practices regularly and is happy to receive the cheers and high fives as he participates with his mom and gets the opportunity to compete in races at the high school level!<\/p>\n \u2014Elizabeth Gillingham es directora de la escuela secundaria Patrick Henry.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Elizabeth Gillingham Meet new staff at Henry Patrick Henry High School is pleased to welcome several new faces around campus as we had several staff members retire last year.
