My “Why” Story

Stefany Camba

1st Grade Teacher

I am thrilled to be teaching 1st grade for another year here at San Tan Charter. I love the family like feeling at San Tan Charter School and love how each individual child is important.

I am a teacher because I have a passion for learning.
I am a teacher because I want to grow lifelong learners.
I am a teacher because I love to laugh and kids are hilarious when free to be themselves.
I am a teacher because I have many talents and teaching allows me to use them all.
I am a teacher because I want every child to have a positive school experience.
I am a teacher because I had great teachers who inspired me.
I am a teacher because I know that a true understanding of life isn’t measured on a test, but in the way we treat others.
I am a teacher because watching a child’s growth from August to May is unlike anything any other profession can offer.
I am a teacher because although it’s far from the perfect job, it’s the perfect job for me.

Amber Kovach

English Teacher

I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. Sounds cliché, but it is true. My mom worked in an elementary school for my entire childhood and adolescence, so I often spent free time in the empty halls after school. I would peek in on some of my favorite teachers to see if they needed any help or to just ooh and ahh over their classrooms. At home I would often gather up several stuffed animals to “teach” a lesson to. They weren’t the liveliest crowd!

Two Bachelor Degrees and a Master’s Degree in English later, I finally realized what I wanted to be when I grew up. Teaching incoming freshman at Boise State was an amazing experience and I met some wonderful students, some I am still in touch with. There was only one problem; each student came in with a sad story about their High School English classes and how unprepared they were for college English and the world in general. It didn’t take long for me to realize where I needed to be and what I needed to be doing. Today’s students are our future and without the proper guidance and tools to propel them, the change we so need will not happen. Writing helps aid in their communication to others, while regular reading improves vocabulary and overall knowledge. Teaching these skills will go far in society today.

Jimmy Ray

Math Teacher/Head Golf Coach

I was born in California, but grew up in Apache Junction, Arizona. I attended school there from kindergarten through graduation. I received my Associates degree while attending both Mesa Community College and Phoenix College. I transferred to Arizona State University to complete my Bachelors degree in Elementary Education. During this time I was employed through the Maricopa Community College District teaching math programs to minority students as well as the athletic department at Arizona State.

My first teaching job was back in Apache Junction in 1996 where I taught junior high and high school math for 15 years along with coaching football, girls basketball and track and field. In 2011, I transferred over to Williams Field High School continuing to teach math and coach football and track.

I am starting my 28th year this school year as a teacher and coach. I am looking forward to a great experience.

Danielle Hirepan

Foreign Language Teacher

I chose to become a teacher for many reasons. The first was that when I was a teenager, people always said to me, “You would be a great teacher when you grow up.” Later on, when I volunteered in my own children’s classrooms, I found that I enjoyed the teaching and learning process and met many inspirational teachers and mentors. I never entered teaching with the illusion that it would be an easy job, but I did enter the job knowing that it would be fulfilling. Throughout the years that I have been an educator I have sacrificed time with my own children, often arriving early to work and staying late into the evening. But, in this career one must have a strong work ethic and be dedicated. I’ve chosen to teach because I want to make a difference in student’s lives. Our students are our future and I deeply desire for our future to be brighter, both literally and figuratively. My deepest desire is for each young person I teach to be a good person, a successful learner with a growth mindset, and to have a love for learning!

Megan Hubbard

Montessori Adolescent Teacher

As a child, I always knew I wanted to be a teacher. When I started teaching preschool at the age of 20, I knew that working with kids was my calling. After ten years of teaching in outdoor classroom schools, I decided to go back to school and pursue higher degrees in order to further my career and be able to incorporate my love of nature with the growing need for technology in the classroom. I fell into the world of Montessori when I realized that I wanted a more holistic approach to education for my own children- I am so excited to be able to follow my passion and continue to grow and learn alongside my students every day.

Christopher Newton

Science Teacher

Why do I teach? Out of all the things that I have done in life, I enjoy teaching the most. I hear so many people that are intimidated to teach Jr. High and High school. But I love these kids! They are my “why”. I enjoy seeing them succeed and grow academically and in life. I am so very proud of all my past students who have gone on to achieve great things. I regularly hear back from students that I once taught that are now in successful careers and have grown into amazing adults. You can’t beat that.
