About the Teacher
My name is Penny Richards. I was born and raised in San Diego, California in a large family, 2 sisters and 2 brothers. I attended public school K-8 and then went to San Diego Academy where I graduated from High School in 1972.
I attended Loma Linda University and graduated in 1976. My first teaching experience was at Redlands Junior Academy 1979-1986 where I taught science and physical education and my husband worked at L.L.U. We had our two wonderful sons at Redlands Community Hospital in 1980 and 1983.
Next stop was Atlanta, GA I taught 5th grade in the public system and then 2nd grade in a small S.D.A. school, that was 1987-1992. My husband was employed at Emory University. 1992 our family moved once again to Northern VA where my husband worked for the government and commuted each day to Washington D.C. and I taught in Fairfax County Public Schools 5th grade.
1996 we headed back to California and I was hired to teach at Loma Linda Academy and my husband worked at Caltech. Our two sons attended Loma Linda Academy and graduated in 1998 and 2001. I am blessed with a great family, John my husband, Jesse and Jake my sons, who graduated from LLA, Brandie my daughters-in-law and four grandsons, Johnny 6, Jacob 8, Ethan freshman in college, and Aidan 11th grade at L.L.A so the cycle begins again, needless to say, I am a HUGE fan of Loma Linda Academy! I love life, sewing, eating, knitting, traveling, reading, and hanging out with my family and friends.
