Hi, HTe Community! My name is Mila Jenkins, and this will be my second year teaching first grade here at High Tech Elementary! I grew up in beautiful San Luis Obispo, studied business at Cal Poly, and then spent seven exciting years in Los Angeles before making the big leap to San Diego to follow my heart into teaching. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I absolutely love working with younger students; their curiosity, energy, and big imaginations make every day feel like an adventure. My passion is helping kids grow into confident, independent, and empathetic problem-solvers who aren’t afraid to use their voices and share their ideas.
