Telleny Gilliam • School Leader

I am the second of four children and the OBVIOUS favorite. SVHS became my joy shortly after moving to Arizona in 1997. Over the years I have taught American History, worked on the Social Studies work groups, served as the Social Studies Department Chair and really enjoyed directing traffic. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher because I truly love history but more importantly I love talking to students. Serving as the assistant principal and now the school leader allows me to devote myself full time to promoting student educational interests. When I am not at Sun Valley I enjoy reading and spending time with my family.
