Introduction: Ms. Cynthia Chubbuck
After earning my B.S. in Chemistry at Cal Poly SLO in 1982, I stayed on the central coast and earned my teaching credential in 1984. With no teaching jobs in the SLO area, I travelled back to L.A. and taught for a year at Hoover High School in Glendale. That following summer, I was fortunate to run into Jack Rose while he was watering his lawn and learned about the opening at SM. Apparently, my predecessor resigned the day before. I've been here ever since. I jumped at the opportunity to teach at SMHS for a few reasons:
1) An all chemistry schedule in my second year of teaching including the honors class.
2) When I told my mom I wanted to be a teacher she first asked, "Why do you want to waste your life teaching?" and then added, "If you're going to teach you have to work at San Marino High School." As you can tell, she grew up in the area.
