Regina Mellinger: You'll Never Guess Who Her Mother Is!
(Hint: a well-loved SVUSD teacher)
Writing Teacher at Adele Harrison Middle School &
Intervention at Prestwood
Regina Mellinger was born and raised in Sonoma, having attended Prestwood Elementary, Adele Harrison Middle School and Sonoma Valley High School. It was her 1st and 2nd-grade teacher, Mrs. Mellinger (a.k.a. her amazing mother Mary) that inspired her to be a teacher. She is beyond thrilled to have the opportunity to work within the schools she attended and with teachers that were once her own!
Tracy Giles: You Won't Believe this Family Story!
Writing Teacher at Altimira Middle School
Tracy Giles is a fifth generation San Francisco Bay Area Californian. Fun fact: Her great, great grandmother survived the 1906 Earthquake but lost her home in the fire, escaped by ferry to Oakland, and gave birth to her great-grandmother just a few days later. Tracy is a former English teacher, avid gardener and spends as much time as she possibly can on the shores and mountains of Lake Tahoe.
