Mrs. Matta has been in education for 22 years and is in her eleventh year in administration. She obtained her B.A. in Liberal Studies at San Diego State University and her teaching credential and master's degree from Fresno State. Mrs. Matta has enjoyed 10 years of teaching experience as a first, second, and fifth grade teacher, as well as serving as a literacy coach and reading specialist before moving on to administration.
