Golden Valley High School
209-385-8000 Ms. Rita Murphy: [email protected] Welcome to Golden Valley, it truly is a golden opportunity for living and learning! I am one of the founding teachers and have had the pleasure of teaching many wonderful students. High school is a time to discover one's talents and I hope that my classroom is a place where this kind of discovery takes place. I discovered California after being raised in Chicago, Illinois. The Windy City refers not only to the wind, but to the talkative politicians. So, yes in addition to the White Sox I enjoy the Irish gift of gab and politics! Before arriving in California I served two years in the United States Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic. I speak Spanish fluently and enjoy learning about all cultures. My two lovely daughters are my pride and joy! They have both recently completed college and I am always available to talk about how to succeed beyond high school. |
