About Me: 

Julia Ciciora is passionate about providing an equitable education for all of her students. Mrs. Ciciora seeks to inspire students to be curious about the world around them by teaching them enduring scientific and mathematics skills that can be translated to many aspects of students’ lives.

  • Teacher is able to work individually with students where the student needs the help.

  • Students learn practical skills for working individually, in small groups, and on practical projects and applications.
