About Ms. White
Maya Angelou once said, "Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it."  Maya Angelou's quote inspires Mrs. White, who began teaching in 1990 and at Colina since 1998.  For seven years prior to being at Colina, she taught at Placerita Junior High in Valencia.  As a mother of three active children, she enjoys soccer, baseball, golf, tennis, reading and scrapbooking.
