Hello!  My name is Hillary Barraza.

This is my second year teaching at City View Charter School.  I taught fourth grade last year with a fantastic expedition about Urban Structures, and decided that I loved and adored my class so much that I wanted to move up and teach fifth grade.  I love working at City View because I get to teach my students meaningful information, and I get to know them and their families because of the small size of my classroom. 

Before working at City View Charter School, I was a substitute teacher in Hillsboro, and I taught
pre-school after graduating from college.  I am originally from a small community in central Oregon called Crooked River Ranch, and moved over to this side of the mountain when I went to Western Oregon University. 

Aside from planning my upcoming wedding with my amazing fiancé, I enjoy running, lifting
weights, traveling, camping, reading, shopping, drinking Starbucks, and playing with my nieces. 
I am looking forward to a very exciting year with the two expeditions I am in the process of planning right now.
