Mrs. Paola Graciano-Gomez

I am excited to be back teaching in Level C for the third year. As a California native, I attended Cal State Long Beach, where I received a degree in Criminal Justice and Sociology. I've been with Deer Valley Unified District for almost 10 years, mostly as a Before and After Care lead instructor across various schools, including Legend Springs.

I have been married to my best friend for 17 years, and we have three boys: a 16-year-old at Mountain Ridge, a 14-year-old at Hillcrest, and one 5th grader at Legend Springs. Our family has deep roots here, as my other two also attended Legend Springs, making it feel like home. Additionally, I am a proud sports mom, and during our free time, we enjoy road trips to the beach and Disneyland. We love to travel!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. I am thrilled for a year of growth and fun for all the kids!
