Ms. Liliana Romero , Sixth Grade

I am a Davis local who attended St James Elementary School. I attended UC Davis and received a Bachelors in English Lit., an Elementary Credential, and a Masters of Education.

Mrs. Linda Green , Eighth Grade

My name is Linda Green. I am originally from Oakland, California. I graduated from Piedmont High School and U. C. Berkeley, where I also received my credentials. I have been teaching for over 40 years in private, public, Catholic, and non-traditional schools. I have taught preschool through junior high students. I was also an elementary science teacher for 14 years. I was in the Bay Area Science Project through Lawrence Hall of Science. I worked at Lindsay Wildlife Experience in Walnut Creek. I taught in the Oakland Diocese for 9 years.

I love spending time with my family and friends. I came to Vacaville to be closer to my family. I have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, traveling, crafts, gardening, and stargazing. I like doing hands-on projects. I'm excited to start the new school year at Notre Dame School. I am looking forward to meeting the students and families and being part of the NDS community.

Mr. Ed Pawley , Accelerated Math Grades 6-8

I grew up in New Jersey. After high school, I went to culinary school and earned my degree in culinary arts. I moved to California in 1977 to go to college. I earned my BS in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics from the University of San Francisco. I began teaching at Holy Spirit Fairfield in 1984 and have been at Notre Dame Vacaville since 1992. I also own and operate Math Masters Learning Centers. Welcome to 6th, 7th, & 8th grade Mathematics! I enjoy teaching Math very much. My first priority is for you to enjoy my class. It goes by so fast, just ask anyone at school. I start class every day with a riddle or thinking skill designed to be fun! Your job is to be an aggressive learner. Make me work too!! Yes, I get to work with you for three years in a row. I find it very rewarding to take you from Basic Math through Algebra (Math 1). We will both work together, just like a coach, to prepare you for High School!

Mr. Russell Booth , Math

I am a big nature lover and an avid camper. Some of my favorite places camping have been: Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Sequoia National Park, and Ocean Cove. Some of my favorite hiking places include: Rockville, and Eagle’s Peak (in Lake Tahoe). One day I want to hike the entirety of the PCT as well! Aside from being immersed in nature, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and pets. Mathematics and helping others succeed in their education and academics has always been something I have enjoyed.
