Welcome to Mrs. Peratt’s Homepage!
Bio:
This is currently my 8th year teaching at “THE High School” in Apple Valley. I started my journey as a student here at Apple Valley High School. I graduated in 1997. I went onto VVC, then transferred to California State University, San Bernardino, where I obtained my Bachelors in Liberal Studies, with a concentration in Biology. I continued my education and obtained a Credential and a Masters of Education at Azusa Pacific University.
I have an amazing family which includes a wonderful husband and two fabulous children. Most of my family still resides in Apple Valley, and help me all of the time. I love my family.
