About Ms. Charnow
This is my 15th year teaching and my 10th year at La Costa Canyon HS. I grew up in Encinitas and went to Diegueno Junior High and San Dieguito Academy. After high school, I wanted to see snow so traveled east to the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York. I graduated with a Bachelors in Economics. After college I moved to New York City where I became a math teacher and earned my Masters in Mathematics Education at Pace University. I taught for four years in the South Bronx until I got fed up with the weather back east and moved home. I taught one year in Downtown San Diego until I finally landed back in the district I grew up in. I have a spouse (Sam) who I met in college is an eighth grade science teacher. We have two children Thyme and Wylie. Thyme is a 5th grader and Wylie is a 2nd grader.
