Teacher Bio

My name is Briana Wright and this is my 11th year teaching at Vista del Sur. I am a graduate of Arizona State University from which I earned a B.A. in Political Science and a certificate in Classical Studies with an emphasis on the histories of Ancient Rome and Greece and the Latin language, an M.A. in Political Science with an emphasis on American Politics and a focus on how political knowledge is shaped by the media and an M.Ed. in Secondary Education with a focus on Secondary Social Studies. My goal is to encourage students to become life-long learners and upstanding citizens of our community and to focus on critical thinking so that students are motivated and able to engage successfully in their future endeavors. In my free time I enjoy reading fiction, non-fiction and interesting articles I find throughout the day! I love spending time with friends, family and my long haired dachshund, Milo! I also enjoy watching basketball and tennis and traveling when I get the chance.
