large view Where did Ms. S go after graduating from the University of California, San Diego?

My name is Ari Santillanes, and I am thrilled to be back at El Camino--class of 2001 alumna--at the beginning of my teaching career. El Camino Fundamental High School has a rich tradition of teaching students to be effective communicators, complex thinkers, quality producers, collaborative workers, and community contributors--a legacy that I was proud to be a part of as a student and that I am honored to perpetuate as a teacher.

For the 2009-2010 school year, I will be managing three courses: Honors English 3 (Grade 11), English 3 (Grade 11), and Student Government (Grades 9-12). I look forward to working with students and parents to make this a year of meaningful learning.

Please feel free to contact me anytime if you have questions or concerns about course content. Check this website regularly for updates, as I intend to make many course resources available.
