Hello everyone! My name is Shelby McKinney, and I am so excited to be joining the HTHCV family as a teacher! This is my first official year teaching, after spending last year as a teaching resident in 10th grade Humanities with Mr. Macrea. I was born and raised in San Diego and have called many different parts of the city home, including Rancho Peñasquitos, Escondido, Hillcrest, and now the La Mesa area. I have been passionate about history for as long as I can remember, and becoming a teacher has been a dream of mine for my entire life. I feel incredibly lucky to be starting my teaching career at HTHCV, where the community truly feels like a family. Outside of the classroom, I love being active, exploring the outdoors, learning about history, and spending time with the people I love. I am also excited to be coaching Cross Country this year and getting to know our students in and outside of the classroom!
