About the teacher

My name is Denise King and I am the Second Grade Teacher at St. Bernard's Catholic School. I firmly believe that “It takes a village to raise a child,” and am eager to work with you in educating your student. This coming school year will be filled with successes, challenges, and tons of memorable moments. As a team, we can make second grade the best year yet. 

I am glad to have your child in my class and I am looking forward to a wonderful school year!

professional

After graduating from the University of San Francisco in 2006, I obtained my teaching credential with the Bay Area Teacher Training Institute. This passed summer, I completed my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction with the same program, which is sponsored by the University of the Pacific. I have taught elementary aged students since 2008. I started as a K-1 public school teacher in San Francisco and then taught third grade at an international school in Vietnam. Now I am grateful to be a part of the St. Bernard’s School community.
