Travis Unified Teachers Association member Allison Johnson has taught at Vanden for the last 5 years; she returned to teaching after taking time off to be with her amazing kids, Jake and Taytum. She’s also coached for 16 years and has mentored the Lady Vike’s Basketball team through back-to-back section titles in addition to many League titles. Allison is constantly inspired by her husband, kids, players and students and is privileged to watch as people “show up” day-in-and-day-out to put their talents to use. She feels blessed that she’s been able to witness and mentor as kids overcome tumultuous situations and go on to thrive. Her advice to new teachers is, “Dive right in! Become a school teacher vs a classroom teacher…develop relationships and participate in everything!”
