Hello,

Welcome to the 2023-24 school year. This is my 29th year of teaching junior high and my 22nd year here at Nicolas. I grew up here in Fullerton and am a product of our school district. I have 3 grown sons, all of whom have gone through the Fullerton School District.

My oldest son, Cade, started his DPT program in Illinois. My second son, Garek, graduated college in December and is currently in Japan. My third son, Ty, is starting his senior year in college and will be graduating in May. While the boys were home, they were a large portion of my life. Since they left for college and have not returned home, I have had to find some hobbies to preoccupy my life. My husband and I are into "jeeping" now and try to get away and escape to off the road locations. I am also president of the Fullerton Sister City Association and a board member of the Kanagawa Kenjinkai.

I look forward to having your student in class this year. We will be learning about all the wonders of history. Please contact me with any questions that you may have over the year.

Mrs. Yamamoto
