Thank you for making my freshmen year of soccer a blast and thank you for all the times you let me kick back in your classroom and have interesting conversations with you. –Cruz Gaytan

Shout out Mrs. Brown and your Starbucks coffee every morning  –Lizbeth Gutierrez

 

Mrs. Brown ur a good nice teacher and my goat –Austin Chin

 

Thank you for your continued belief in me even from when I was a shy freshman. It's been so fulfilling and comforting being with you as a senior, too. I remember my first presentation for you in freshman year, my voice was wavering the whole time and I took such an awkward amount of time on my points---and now, in the latest presentation I've given this senior year, I was surprised at how, despite being in the same exact spot as I had been three years prior, I was able to not only deliver my points clearly, but also to truly be myself. When I sat back down after that final presentation, I knew that much of that confidence must be attributed to your encouragement and confidence in me. Since meeting you, I've always admired your intelligence and the self-assured way with which you carry yourself, and I imagine that even in adulthood I will continue to admire these traits. If I am Jane Eyre, then you are my Miss Temple, and I am so grateful to have a figure like that in my life. –Lizelle Grace Simbulan

 

Thank you so much for pushing me and showing me how to write better; I'll forever know how to use semicolons! –Anthony Torres

Ms. Colln

Thank you for having a positive and humorous attitude everyday even when it's not required. Two years of your class have been a great experience and I wouldn't choose a different English teacher. –Adanna Beard

Thank you so much for being the sweetest, coolest teacher ever. From the moment I interviewed you for Girl Up’s Feminine Hygiene Drive, I became inspired to join more of your classes and become a board member for Girl Up! Your communication and teaching style made me hope and pray that I have you as my ERW12 and Academic Leadership teacher! Once senior year rolled around, I knew I was going to have fun since my hopes and dreams weren’t crushed. When I joined the Writing Center, you were so chill and kind towards the tutors, helping us grow from our comfort zones and become a guide for students! Interacting with other students and tutors, it opened my eyes to many wonderful and dear people I met this year! You inspired me to extend my leadership abilities and tutor others with writing. As for ERW12, you offered me an English class that I genuinely enjoyed. From the commencement address to Hawkeye, you allowed me to challenge my writing and reading skills and utilize creativity and self-expression. Ending my high school career with you in both classes, I created fond memories of senior year. Your stories, interests, and humor made your classes incredibly worthwhile and unforgettable! Thank you for all your hard work and kindness! ꉂ(˵˃ ᗜ ˂˵) –Sophia Dio, The Windjammer’s Editor in Chief

Ms. Cole-Edwards

Thank you for always being so helpful and attentive. I really appreciate it! Having you this year makes every assignment a breeze. –Adanna Beard

 

Thank you for being my English teacher and liking my interests which are shows, anime, music, comics, and manga because besides my few friends it felt nice being able to share the interest with someone else, I won’t forget being able to share these interests –Daniel Magana

Mr. Cross

Thank you for being a significant role model throughout my high school career. Because of your guidance, kindness, and patience (and a little bit of your silly personality), I am who I am today. I'm beyond glad that you've helped me grow from that shy reporter to the confident EiC. Your support did not end at Journalism, but it helped with my English classes. From assisting me with public speaking to prepping me for the AP Lang exam, you helped me become a better speaker, reader, and writer. However, it did not end there either. You've helped me smile through difficult times, making sure that I would not give up on anyone or myself. Most of all, you taught me to shift my focus towards things I can control — how I feel about myself. I'll always think about your kind, wise words that will carry me throughout the rest of my life. Thank you, Reverend (˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ –Sophia Dio, The Windjammer’s Editor in Chief

 

Thank you for expanding my horizons in the English language and in storytelling. You are my favorite teacher of all time (that's a high bar to cross, I've had some really good ones in my years.) –Jacob Robinson

 

Thanks for a great elective that genuinely challenged me to pursue things I never thought I could. Thanks to your class, I have a half-way decent novel under my belt! –Armani "Jasper" Williams-Copeland

 

He's really funny and chill, and his class is pretty fun. –Lily Greenwood

​

​In these last three years of being in Journalism, it’s absolutely fun and chaotic especially with you around! Thank you for teaching me how to become a better writer because I certainly feel more confident in my writing. And thank you for believing that I was capable of being a copy editor. I have grown to have a love and passion for Journalism over these past years which increased my confidence and skills. By the way, thanks for being the advisor for GSA, I feel that my role has pushed me to be a more confident leader. Thank you for everything you have done, I’m certainly going to miss Journalism and this school. -Andrea Ramos, The Windjammer’s Copy Editor

Ms. De La Mora (Ms. T)

Thank you for not only caring for the athletes at our school, but for also being a kind, funny, and great teacher. You are an appreciated and respected person in our community, and you have a one of a kind funny sarcastic humor. –Lucas Gonzales

​

Mr. Drown

 

Mr. Drown is a remarkable instructor, who embodies hard work and honesty. One of his lessons that has stuck with me throughout his mentorship was every project for someone should be better than what you would use. In every project, Mr. Drown has hammered out the goal of improvement in each technique and skills practiced. Thank you Mr. Drown for exemplifying the value of hard work, honesty, and responsibility! –Roman Diaz

Mr. Evans

Mr. Evans, Mrs. Loquellano and Ms. Rachel, thank you guys so much for offering such a kind, caring and comforting environment for me these past four years. Being a library aide for you guys since my junior year has been one of the greatest highlights of my high school career. Because of you guys and working in the library, you've not only reignited my love for books but to attend school and pursue a career in library science. Thank you guys again for making the library my safe space forever and a book worm. ;) –Violet Easter

Mme. Fauben

Thank you for being an extraordinary teacher throughout my high school career! I admire your extravagant style — both teaching and fashion — that allowed me to understand and improve my French skills. Through your endless creativity, from Le Café Français to the interactive in-class activities, you made me fall in love with the language. I am glad that you have watched me grow in French as a student and a person. I always loved being your guinea pig and talking to you about random things. You have seen me through my different hair eras and (unfortunately) watched me be a perfectionist from time to time. However, it is all the more I am glad to be your student for four years. I will miss your diva-like attitude and your energy that lights up the classroom. Merci beaucoup, madame! ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) –Sophia Dio, The Windjammer’s Editor in Chief

 

Thank you for always keeping class fun! Your class has been one of my favorites, and I will miss our lunch conversations after graduation :) –Mia Levine

 

Madame Fauben for being an inspirational and entertaining woman –Aniyah Stubbs

Mr. Fong

Thank you really impacting my years in school even if it was just me visiting your class. Are you saying hi in the hallway?

Ms. Gamboa

Thank you for your support and enthusiasm throughout the year. This school needs teachers that are as eager as you and I hope you get rewarded for the kindness you've shown. –Patch Su’a

Ms. Garvin

I have doubts that you remember me, but I'd like to thank you. Even in the most information-heavy lectures, it was clear you have a strong passion for history, which helped me realize my own love for it, and later for academia as a whole. I realized that I wanted to learn everything I can about this world, about everything that anyone in all of time has ever wondered about... And though that isn't possible, it has made me want to pursue as much education as I can, a feeling which is now a fundamental passion for me. –Lizelle Grace Simbulan

​

"Be competitive." Those are the words I'll forever remember Mrs. Garvin by. This class, in addition to making me fall in love with world history, was the turning point in my high school career. Since taking this class, I've been determined to push myself to the absolute limit, and none of that would be possible without Mrs. Garvin. Thank you, Mrs. Garvin. –Chibuike Iwuanyanwu

Ms. Gutierrez (Ms. G)

Thank you so much Ms. G for actually helping me throughout freshman year to my senior year! I'm forever grateful that I had your class and how much our jokes and laughs were! –Kaitlynn Johnson

Mr. Guerra

Hey Guerra, I thought you might like a little shout out from one of your favorite seniors! First I want to start off by saying that I am so grateful you decided to become the Girls Beach Volleyball coach to keep our program alive. If it weren't for you, we definitely wouldn't be where we are today. Your dedication, commitment, and connections have made the program so much more fun and competitive then we could've ever imagined. You care for your players as if they were your own, and you treat us with respect even when we don't deserve it. You make everything personal in the best way possible and always make sure to be on good terms with our opponents. Thank you for sacrificing your time, gas, and energy for us. I know this year was hard on you and your wife's family, but you still pushed through for us and I will never forget that. Thank you for believing in us, and for giving us encouraging words when we needed them most. Finally, thank you for telling us your corny dad jokes, even though they're a hit or miss lol. You are an amazing coach, don't ever forget it! –Isabela (Izzy) Linares

 

Thank you for being a good teacher, and an even better person. You're one of the coolest teachers on campus, and your care for the students here is greatly appreciated, U2 is a pretty cool band. –Lucas Gonzales

For being a funny and educational teacher (thank you for the snacks!!) –Aniyah Stubbs

Thank you for being such a supportive, understanding, funny, and kind teacher; you always take the time to help your students and make sure we truly understand the lessons. Thank you for an amazing senior year! God bless you! –Sofia Camarena

I'll forever miss and cherish the exciting debates in class and the Amnesty International meetings. Thank you again for creating a fun, welcoming environment and make coming to your class everyday something to look forward to! :) –Violet Easter

 

Thank you for showing me the full breadth of our country's history and not getting mad at me for not turning in assignments –Jacob Robinson

 

Thanks for such an immersive, interactive, and overall positive space to learn (and for listening to me ramble about current events between classes)! It's been great having an outlet to talk about the results and modern effects of the history I learned within the curriculum. Your class has genuinely cemented a deeper understanding of a deeply personal subject for me. Thanks again! –Armani "Jasper" Williams-Copeland

 

Very fun and enthusiastic teacher. His class was really fun and he was very understanding. He also didn't give too much homework and he made class fun. I usually failed history due to lack of interest but he's the first history class that I truly enjoyed and passed with an A. I even decided to take an AP class this year so I could have him again since he was my favorite teacher and this class is even better. Thank you Mr. Headley! –Milan Hoy

 

Thank you for being one of the coolest teachers I’ve ever had! Before coming to your class, I did not enjoy the history subject from past experiences. Once I met you, you made history become exciting and memorable! Your lectures were fun and engaging, motivating me to gain a better understanding of our U.S. history and how it connects to our current political climate. Additionally, you made me feel so seen with how we’ve interacted throughout the year. From the thoughtful student interest survey to a personally-picked movie, your kindness truly shined. Your historically-rich classroom made many happy memories from I’ll never forget. I extend my gratitude to you for when you gave us the opportunity to watch Hamilton at Pantages! I wouldn’t choose another history teacher with how you restored my interest in the subject. Thank you for your amazing work, Mr. Headley (•̀ᴗ•́ )و  –Sophia Dio, The Windjammer’s Editor in Chief

​

Last year, when I had your class for AP U.S. History, I enjoyed being in your class and learning about U.S. history. Even though I struggled a bit in your class, you still helped and provided all the materials to help me out. I appreciated that you didn’t give up on me and pushed me to do my best. I truly appreciate every moment you have helped me out, thank you so much! Your efforts have pushed me to be a better student! I can’t empathize how grateful I am. Thank you. 

-Andrea Ramos, The Windjammer’s Copy Editor

Mr. Irving

I've known you since 9th grade and you have always been an amazing teacher to me. I always feel excited to go to class and I know that there is a teacher that does care about me. Even when I tell you about my family problems, you always are understanding and kind to me. You continue to push me everyday and give me a reason to not give up on this school, even when I feel like it. Thank you! So much for being an amazing teacher throughout my whole high school years. –Ashley Gonzalez-Cervantes

​

Thank you for being the cool teacher. –Gabriel Diaz

Mr. McCabe

To THE, Mr. McCabe, thank you so much for caring about me. I still remember last year when I was sitting alone listening to my music while we were working on a case study, and you checked up on me asking "You're doing okay?"

Thank you again, Mr. McCabe...Good Deal!!!!!!!!!! –Joanne (Jasper) Banez

You were truly one of the biggest supporters I had throughout my entire high school career. Even though you were no longer my counselor during my final year, it always gave me a sense of comfort knowing you were still on campus. I genuinely appreciate everything you did for me from freshman through junior year. I’m so grateful for all the guidance you gave me—especially during the rougher patches throughout my high school career. Your support helped me stay on track, and I honestly don’t think I could have done it without you. You’ve seen me at my highest, my lowest, and my most vulnerable, and your encouragement made a real difference in how I view both the world and Mayfair. Any student who has you as their counselor is incredibly lucky to be under the wing of such a dedicated and caring person. Thank you for everything. –Cesar Guerrero Isaias

Mrs. McKay

Thank you so much for always welcoming me into your class with warmth. You have shown me that there are still good people here at this school and have made my last year enjoyable. Your kindness goes beyond your government class and you truly create a safe and humble environment. So thank you for noticing little details like when I dyed my hair or acknowledged my club. I will never forget you and I'll always carry my pocket Constitution with me, because I know my rights thanks to you! –Ashley Gonzalez-Cervantes

 

Thank you for challenging my ideals and showing me different perspectives of people within our nation. –Jacob Robinson

 

Mrs. Mckay!!! Thank you for making government so enjoyable. Your energy in the classroom is always fun and makes learning that much more fun. –Paola Salmeron

I now feel confident to share my thoughts in Spanish. So thank you for having a passion for teaching and genuinely helping me grow as an individual. By the way, thank you for being our advisor for Animal Club, you make the club more fun and entertaining with your presence.

Thank you, Wiz, for teaching me how to change the meta. –Chibuike Iwuanyanwu

Mr. Pham

Mr. Pham thanks for always making our class fun and the funny jokes and keeping me motivated to stay in the class and have fun. –Megan Anthony

Mr. Phillips

Given that you have retired and pretty much cut off all contact with us I'm fairly certain you will never see this, but I hold so much fondness for you even if I only knew you for a year. Music, out of all of my hobbies, has always been difficult for me. I joined the marching band originally for a friend and, truthfully, for a spot in my extracurriculars section. But your supreme kindness and patience, as well as your clear appreciation for my dedication, pushed me to truly become devoted to it. I remember that day where I was the only one who showed up for an optional practice, and despite the broad space between your office and the upright piano and the anxious pianissimo I was playing in I knew that you heard each and every mistake. "He must be so annoyed," I thought, "And he'll kick me off of synth once he realizes how bad I am," but when you later praised me for the work I put in, I felt for the first time true appreciation for effort, and not just superficial pride for my achievements. –Lizelle Grace Simbulan

Ms. Rachel

Mr. Evans, Mrs. Loquellano and Ms. Rachel (Library), thank you guys so much for offering such a kind, caring and comforting environment for me these past four years. Being a library aide for you guys since my junior year has been one of the greatest highlights of my high school career.

Thank you guys again for making the library my safe space forever and a book worm. ;) –Violet Easter

Mr. Ramirez

I know it's been a rough year for both of us. I'm so glad you took over this program and that I had you around for my last year. –Parker Hirschy

 

Mr. Ramirez, thank you for listening and cooperating with the band and making us feel like a family like the past teacher, it's great to have such an understanding and respectful adult to lead us. –Johnny Chan

Mr. Ravelo

Thank you for always keeping it real in the classroom and on the field, your authenticity is valued and your advice will always be remembered. You taught valuable life lessons and useful tools through stories and personal examples. Thanks to you, I'm ready to take on challenges that life will throw at me after high school. –Lucas Gonzales

Ms. Reyes

Ms. Reyes, and Ms. Saucedo (College and Career Center), thank you guys so much for being so helpful with college applications. Even just sitting and listening to me rant about random things. You guys helped my senior year be a little easier, and I feel like there’s someone at Mayfair who actually cares and knows of my existence. You guys are great at what you do, and I love coming in the college and career centered being greeted with a smile :) –Jah-Iyre’ Edwards

Mr. Rodriguez

Mr. Yanes/ Mr. Rodriguez, thank youuu Mr. Yanes for helping me out with math and like pushing me to do better whenever I wanted to give up. So thank you for that. And for Mr. Rodriguez, thank you so much for helping me out whenever I struggled and didn't care for math. Thank you for the laughs and giggles and the check ups. –Kaitlynn Johnson

 

Thank you so much for always caring about me beyond math. You have always made me feel comfortable in your class. –Paola Salmeron

 

Thank you for always being happy and not boring or mean. You made math fun and bearable when I had you, even now it's a pleasure speaking to you in the hallways! –Adanna Beard

 

Mr. Yanes/ Mr. Rodriguez, Thank you for always looking out for me. –Gabriel Diaz

Thank you for always being kind, understanding, and putting students first; not only when we’re sick but also when we need someone to talk to. Your care and support mean so much. God bless you! –Sofia Camarena

Thank you for your genuine care for the students here at Mayfair and for always being there to help those who need it. I’ve truly appreciated how supportive you’ve been to me and my family over the years. Your kindness and the way you offer help in such a comforting and reassuring way have always meant a lot. Above all, thank you for the concern you show for every student’s well-being and for creating such a safe and welcoming space on campus. I’m very grateful for you. –Cesar Guerrero Isaias, The Windjammer’s Copy Editor

Ms. Saucedo

Ms. Reyes, and Ms. Saucedo (College and Career Center), thank you guys so much for being so helpful with college applications. Even just sitting and listening to me rant about random things.

Mr. Saunders

Thank you for always being yourself and using that to make light of any situation. –Ava Lajeniss

 

Thank you for helping me become a part of Mayfair with Monsoon Theatre and CalAps Stage Production. You've inspired me to be similar to you and become a teacher who kids can go to for anything. I'll never forget "measure once, cut twice". –Samantha Escareno​

​

Thank you for your support throughout Stage Production 1 & 2, CalAPS, and Stage Crew for Beetlejuice the Musical. The Stage Production program has meant so much to me — it pushed me out of my comfort zone in the best way and helped bring out the best in me. You taught me how to collaborate and work alongside the crew and my peers, which helped me grow more confident and extroverted. Because of you, I’ve developed a passion for theatre, especially backstage. I’m so grateful I had the chance to support my friends on stage, even when I wasn’t up there with them. You also helped me see things from a more theatrical perspective and understand how deeply rooted theatre is. I’ve come to appreciate how every role — actors, directors, board, stage manager, crew, and actors — work together toward the same goal: a great show. Being part of your program has made me a better person, friend, and a better team player and I’m very grateful for what I have learned by being in this program. –Cesar Guerrero Isaias, The Windjammer’s Copy Editor

Mr. Schneider

Thank you for always being there to support me and for being able to talk, even on my bad days. I appreciate the openess and funny atmosphere within your classroom! :) –Laura Landis

Thank you for creating such a welcoming and supportive environment in your class.

Your kindness and genuine care for both your students and your teaching really stand out, and I think you take the crown as my favorite teacher in K-12. I’ve never once felt uncomfortable or bored in your class, and I want to really highlight how much effort and passion you put into making it an engaging and meaningful space for everyone.

Ms. Viska

Thank you for being such a sweet teacher! You were my introduction to honors/advanced classes, and you definitely helped me prepare for the future courses I planned to take. Despite it being your first year teaching IM2H, your teaching style was effective, allowing me to develop a better understanding of the math materials. Because of you, I have a weird interest in tangent, sine, and cosine! Other than the academic side, your compliments, warm-ups, words of encouragement would make my morning! I will miss the warmth and silliness of your energy. The memories of having IM2H with you in the morning will always be cherished! Thank you so much for all your work and assisting me with math in the long run ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و♡ –Sophia Dio, The Windjammer’s Editor in Chief

You always believed in me and pushed me to be the best version of myself and for that I will always cherish and be grateful for.
