Staff

I am a proud WHS graduate and former Bonnie Brennan student. I attended BYU for my undergraduate studies and ASU for my graduate studies. I love to read books, run, and make salsa. I have served in a variety of roles throughout the school district including teacher, instructional coach, and assistant principal. I am honored to be back at Bonnie Brennan leading the best team!

I am passionate about teaching and genuinely care for my students. I believe that every student has the potential to learn and succeed. In my free time, I love going on adventures, whether it's hiking in the mountains, relaxing at the beach, or simply reading books. I look forward to an amazing journey with all of you!

I was raised here in Winslow, Arizona. After graduating at WHS I attended Brigham Young University-Idaho, where I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education followed by Grand Canyon University with a Master’s degree in Reading Curriculum and Instruction. I have thirteen years of teaching experience. I enjoy riding and training my horses, and spending time with my dogs. My dachshund Ruger is the former state champion racing wiener dog! I am also a track coach at Winslow Junior High. Go Bulldogs!

After finishing my degree in Communication, I went on to get a postgraduate degree in Special Education and a Master's in Early Childhood Education. I love reading books and being creative! I hope to inspire my students to do the same.

Ya'ah'teeh! I am a graduate of WHS c/o 2005! I received my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education from the University of Arizona in 2012. I have taught first grade, third grade, and middle school (sixth, seventh, and eighth grade ELA). Outside of teaching, I love to work on my family's ranch; work cattle, ride horses, herd sheep, and tend to the animals. I love teaching because I get to work with children and after my military experience, I have found kids are easier to mold and teach than adults.

I love education! I have an MA in Rhetoric and the Teaching of Writing as well as an MFA in Creative Writing from Northern Arizona University, and I am currently working on an MA in Elementary Education from Prescott College. My favorite hobby is bikepacking (going camping on a bike!). I am a teacher because I love helping students succeed, and because I believe education is the best way to create a more fair and equitable world.

I am excited to be a 4th grade teacher at Bonnie Brennan Elementary School! I was born and raised here in Winslow and am a graduate of WHS. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education from BYU. My husband and I have five children - all five are graduates of WHS! I enjoy reading to children and fostering in them a joy for reading. :)

I have been in the education field since 2012. My favorite thing about teaching is seeing a child's face light up when they finally understand a new skill being taught to the point they can teach it to their peers.

I graduated with my masters degree from Grand Canyon University. I enjoy working with all my students.

I am a proud Winslow High School graduate, and come from a long line of Winslow teachers. I graduated with my BA in Elementary Education from NAU in 2022. When I’m not working I love watching movies, spending time with my friends and family, and hanging with my doggos. Growing up, Bonnie Brennan was my favorite school because the adults loved and cared for us. I am proud that I can continue this tradition today.

I attended NAA for high school and the University of Arizona for college. I have an ESL endorsement and am currently pursuing a master's degree program through NAU for reading curriculum. I started working for WUSD in 2019. I enjoy gardening for fun.

My name is Ms. Pontel. I am the Elementary Art teacher here in Winslow. I graduated with a degree in Art Education from Northern Arizona University.

I have been at Bonnie Brennan my entire teaching career! I love spending time with my family, doing things like cooking, going on walks, and watching movies with them. I teach because I want to be the teacher I needed when I was growing up.
