 Susan Salucci 

I graduated from UCSB in 1986 and spent 6 years in hotel sales and marketing.  I received my teaching credential in 1992 and began my teaching career at Vandenberg Middle School (VMS).  I love VMS so much that I am beginning my fifteenth year here.  I have taught mostly eighth grade English, but I also have had the privilege of teaching 8^th grade Honors English for the past 5 years.

     Last year I pursued and obtained my M.A. and administrative credential from Cal Poly.  I begin this year in a new assignment of part-time dean and part-time ELD teacher.

     I have been married to my husband, Philip, for 18 years and we have two boys, Philip Jr. and Jeffery.  We live a quiet and happy life in Orcutt.
