C. S. D. - Chatham School
District
Education: U.A.S. Ð University of Alaska
Southeast. I also participated in
required and offered training at the Chatham School District.
Before joining C.S.D.: Denise was born in Juneau, Alaska,
shortly after my family moved around to the Northwest, central Alaska as well
as in the lower 48. I didnÕt make
Angoon my home until I was in the sixth grade. So I was not familiar with a lot of my Native traditions and
food. I graduated from Angoon High
School and was the salutatorian for my class. I went to school in Juneau for a couple years and while
going I had my first child. After
having a new baby son, my little family and me had moved back to Angoon. I then applied as a substitute for
Angoon Schools. I did that for a
couple years and them made it to get on as a classroom aid. Every since then I have been involved
with the school. Other jobs and
responsibilities that I have had are:
tutoring, basketball coach, P.E. teacher, and special ed. Aid.
Responsibilities at C.S.D.: I am required yearly to follow a
schedule composed by the teachers, special ed. Requirements for the students
and myself. I will work with
student in the classroom to help better their class work.
