My name is Jon Hoffman. This is my first year teaching high school English. I have worked as a substitute teacher for this district for two years before doing my student teaching at Santa Maria High School. The students at Santa Maria inspired me to go back to school and get my credential, during the middle of a pandemic no less. I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2016 and completed my credential from Humboldt State University in spring of 2021.

In my spare time, I tend to spend my money on fuel for travel and plane and train tickets to explore new places. I absolutely love to read the latest developments taking place in the scientific community. Life is meant to be explored. I am constantly looking to expand my knowledge for the thrill of discovery. My travels have served me as well as any book for gaining knowledge.  I am honored that I am now an English teacher at Santa Maria High School and starting my first year at the school that inspired me to become a teacher to begin with. Go Saints!
