ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR - Annalisa Hiroyasu

Annalisa is an energetic, insightful, resourceful educator dedicated to helping identify and enhance academic and personal achievement by developing innovative yet rigorous learning strategies with 21st century approaches to strengthen and improve educational performance. 

"My name is Annalisa Hiroyasu but students love to call me Mrs. H for short. This will be my 16th year in education and 10th year teaching. I have been teaching at Coupeville Elementary School for the past 6 years and have had a wonderful time teaching there. I was born in Hawaii and lived there throughout my childhood until the Navy transferred my dad to Southern California. I went to junior high and high school in Orange County, CA. 

In 2005, we moved to Woodinville, Washington, and lived there for 7 years before my husband’s job transferred us to Bentonville, Arkansas. We loved living in the midwest but 6 years was too long away from family and we moved to Whidbey Island in 2018. We are loving Whidbey Island life! 

I'm a University of Washington Alumni and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies. I also received my Master of Arts in Teaching from Harding University and a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Eastern Western University. I am currently pursuing my Master of Science in Educational Leadership through Western Governors University.

My husband and I have been married for 24 years and we have three daughters. Our oldest lives in NYC working her first big girl job, our middle will be a Senior at Seattle Pacific University, and our youngest daughter also goes to SPU and will be a sophomore. 

I look forward to getting to know your children in the STEM club!"
