Welcome to my web page!  I have been a teacher at Wilson since September of 1998.  Prior to that, I taught in San Francisco for 11 years.  I also taught nursery school for a number of years while raising my own children.

Born and raised in San Francisco, I received my B.A. and teaching credential from the University of San Francisco, and completed much additional coursework from a variety of Bay Area universities.

This year I am working with Home Study K-12 students on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.  Tuesdays and Thursdays I work with high school seniors in the Independent Study or “Minors” program. I also coordinate the community service graduation requirement for Wilson High School. 

I am committed to the mission and goals of our alternative high school.  My strong belief is that each student needs to find and follow his or her individual path to knowledge…each can be successful if he or she receives support and encouragement along the way.  I take a personal interest in each of my students and am happy to be part of a staff that works well together to guide students toward achievement of their goals.

You can reach me on campus in Room 31…by phone at 423-3600, voice mail 6611…by email at celgin@scu.k12.ca.us.  Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns…it is good communication that helps to solve problems and further understanding.
