Jodi Lynn Disario has been named Teacher of the Year for the Mountain View-Los Altos Union High School District. Disario teaches English at Alta Vista High School, where she also serves as a senior advisor and on the leadership team.

Principal Bill Pierce said, “Over the six years that Jodi Disario has been with Alta Vista, she has designed curriculum for six courses, stepped in as senior counselor (for which she revamped many policies and procedures), and designed the exit portfolio, a new AVHS graduation requirement. In addition, this year she served as co-coordinator for WASC (Western Association of Schools and Colleges), co-coordinator of testing and community service coordinator.”

Disario has served as secretary of California Continuation Education Association District IV for six years. In addition to her on-campus and association work this year, she earned a master’s degree in school counseling.

Alta Vista will honor her in June at its end-of-the-year celebration. The district will recognize her at its districtwide opening day meeting in August. The Santa Clara County Office of Education will honor her at a dinner in late September.
