Ms. Yari Luna

Hello! My name is Ms. Luna, and I am so excited to work alongside the wonderful staff and students at Sacred Heart as the Jr. High ELA/Reading teacher. I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with my Bachelor’s degree in English and Secondary Education. My passion for instructional design and supporting diverse learners’ needs inspired me to pursue further education and earn my Master’s degree in Curriculum and Instruction. This will be my fifth year of teaching, and it brings me great pleasure to continue my professional career at a school that prioritizes individualized learning and student engagement. I have previously taught English courses for grades 9-12, meanwhile serving as a mentor, club sponsor, and athletic coach for cheerleading.
 
Over the course of the school year, I aim to create meaningful learning experiences and build positive relationships with all students to help them achieve their personal and academic goals. Students can look forward to taking part in an engaging and supportive learning environment as they develop their literacy, metacognitive, and critical thinking skills. I encourage you to reach out as we progress throughout the school year with any questions, concerns, or insights that may arise.
 
I can’t wait for the wonderful school year ahead!
