West Homer Elementary
Meet our new staff for the 2023-2024 School year!
Let's welcome our new teachers of West Homer Elementary
Ms. Settles-4th
Ms. Sizemore-5th
Ms. Hanks-5th
Ms. Stralely-6th
Ms. Amy Settles-4th Grade
My name is Amy Settles and I am excited to be teaching fourth grade this year. I grew up in Michigan and have lived in Alaska since 2014. Teaching has allowed me to experience different ways of life across the state in Togiak, Sand Point, and Denali. I live with my husband, our three year old son, Jack, two cats, a dog, and a ball python named Agnes!
Leah Sizemore-5th Grade
Here is a short little “about me”
Leah Sizemore (a haiku)
My favorite things:
Outside, art, coffee, pie, dogs,
All the “bunny trails”
Paulette Hanks-5th Grade
Letha Straley-6th Grade
I moved from Oklahoma to Alaska in 1999 to teach in the bush. I am most recently coming back to Homer, after a 20+ year hiatus, from Girdwood / Anchorage where I taught various grades, but most recently 4th. I am so excited to get back into teaching and learning with 6th graders!
Kylie Shuneson-6th Grade
I was born and raised in America’s high five (Michigan). This will be my 11th year living & teaching in Alaska. The last ten years I spent with SWRSD in a village teaching a variety of grades: PreK, Kindergarten, 2nd/3rd grade, and 5th/6th grade. I am very excited to have the honor of working and learning alongside the staff and students at West Homer Elementary.
