4341 S. Greenfield Road 480-638-8000 gilbertchristianschools.org Jenny Richmond is a fourth grade teacher at Gilbert Christian School’s Greenfield Campus. She was inspired to go into teaching after her son struggled in school and she felt he didn’t have the support system he needed. After learning how to support her own son educationally, she decided to become a teacher so that no child would have to feel like they couldn’t be successful. Her favorite part about teaching is the relationships she forms with her students.

Nick Cornell has been teaching for over 20 years and specializes in sports training, which is a strength conditioning class. He says his favorite thing about teaching is helping kids be the very best they can be in all areas of their lives. He loves to see his students smiling as they express themselves. His work inspires his students to test their limits and try their best in not just a physical education setting, but in every aspect of their education and lives. He teaches at Campo Verde High School, a south Gilbert public school.
