Ms. Mary Kaczmarowski- Social Studies Educator/ BS in Education
I am an Arizona native and have lived in the northwest valley all my life. I have seen so many changes come to this state is still amazes me that we are still growing, and growing, and growing.
Teaching is a second career for me as I spent the better part of 20 years in medical support services. It seems like yesterday but I have been with Deer Valley 17 years. I enjoy learning about our past. We need to know where we are coming from so that we can guide our own and make informed decisions.
Throughout my life I have felt the importance of those great 'memorable' teachers and how they shaped my life. I know the importance of a teacher to help students grow emotionally and academically. I have worked at Anthem Elementary with both 7th and 8th graders. I enjoy the continuation of my work here at Desert Sky.
What is a fun fact about you?
I have been to 37 states and I have 4 brothers and a sister. I guess that is fun? :-)
What College or University did you attend?
I went to University of Central Florida in Orlando, class of 2003. Moon Valley High School class of 1985.
Where did you grow up?
I was born at St. Joe's here in Phoenix in the late 60s when Phoenix was tiny. I currently live 1.2 miles from where I was born and grew up.
What hobby or activity do you enjoy?
I enjoy reading, being outdoors and going to the beach.
