Hello.
My name is
Christopher Gooden, and I am excited to be at Santa Maria with great students,
staff and families. I am originally from
Berea, Ohio, and moved to the Valley 18 years ago. I am in my 22nd year in education
as a teacher, coach and administrator.
As an English teacher, I felt success was helping students to get better
at writing and speaking what they have in their heads. As an administrator, success is helping
students to find the value in education and how that will prepare them for
college, career and life. Mucho gusto.
