Stafford High School Mission Statement
Hello everyone and welcome.
I'm Miss Orlando from New London, CT. I have been
teaching high school for 12 years and adult education for 20
years; it's a job I truly enjoy. I am graduate of Johnson &
Wales University where I
majored in Marketing, Management, Business
Administration/Education. Prior to becoming an educator, I was in
the Defense Industry doing technical writing, finance and program
management. When I'm not in school, I like to cook, visit
historic places, take pictures and read classic literature. I'm
looking forward to a great school year.
Parents: feel free to contact me with questions or concerns by email or the extension listed above.
This is my third year teaching at Stafford High School. I get to teach some really great courses including Accounting, Technology in Action, Photography, Web Development and Middle School Keyboarding.
