Claudia's Story
After h.s., I went to UCLA until I ran out of money, then Palomar and SDSU, where I got my B.A. in music, minoring in English, with a secondary teaching credential. I taught at EHS for 4 years, then moved to San Pasqual, where I retired in 2006, after teaching English, music, public speaking, and drama -- all for a total of 38 years. I also worked at Palomar in the summers for a while doing musical theatre. For a while I taught summer enrichment programs at The Bishop's School in La Jolla until the drive and traffic got to be too much. I took a sabbatical in 1980 and lived in London for about 5 months, taking classes in the arts and theatre. For several years I spent Spring Break in London, going to the theatre and seeing the sights and did theatre trips to New York between Christmas and New year's.

I got into plays at Palomar, something I hadn't had time to do in college, since a music major has to spend a lot of time in class for performance courses. After I had more seniority than anyone else in the high school district, I began receiving administrative pressure to retire, so when the State Teachers Retirement counselor told me 2 years ago that I could retire at 98% of my full salary, I jumped at the opportunity. I bought my present house, close to what used to be the Circle R (now Castle Creek) golf course in 2003 and have been doing some remodeling in the last year and just generally enjoying retirement. If you're not there yet, I highly recommend it!
