About Mrs. Vaughan
I was born in the tiny town of Fon du Lac, Wisconsin. After a brief visit, my parents decided to move my brother and me to Arizona a few years later. I spent my school years in the Mesa Unified school district and graduated from Arizona State University. I went directly into teaching in the Mesa district, but wasn’t sure if it was what I was meant to do. After taking the break from teaching, I am so thankful that I have found my passion at the greatest school. Thank you everyone for all of your support so far this year!
