Background

Hi !!! My name is Chuck Podhorsky and this was my class homepage. I currently work for the San Diego State University - City Heights Educational Collaborative as the Principal of Hoover High School. I earned my bachelors degree from the University of California, San Diego (U.C.S.D.). I am a new homeowner in the community of University City, and very much enjoy the sun and relaxation that San Diego has to offer. I grew up in San Diego and have traveled throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. I look forward to the many wonderful experiences and journeys that life has to offer. My wife and I have recently had the pleasure of welcoming our second daughter into our lives. This has been such a special time for us and we look forward to watching her grow into a beautiful young lady. I completed my Doctoral degree from the University of California, Los Angeles (U.C.L.A) in Educational Leadership. My dissertation research focused on Lesson Study as a method for facilitating

I am so excited about the wonderful new opportunities that are available for students today. I enjoy working with progressively minded people, who desire to achieve greatness in their fields. Education has so many rewards to offer at all levels. Students are empowered to achieve their desires. Parents are driven to help foster a life that will change society for ever. Teachers are entrusted the power to train and support these new young visions. Together, we can shape the future.

What does Mr. P do when he is not in class ???

I enjoy anything that involves the outdoors. I grew up with an avid love for camping and many naturalist activities. I have hiked extensively throughout California, with many great nights on both the Pacific Crest Trail and the John Muir Trail. I also enjoy a wide range of activities from bike riding, S.C.U.B.A diving, horseback riding, surfing and rollerblading. I am an admirer of classic texts and enjoy looking for first editions.

I look forward to many great years in San Diego, but also foresee several years exploring the world with my wife and children.
