Mari Hopps

Teacher

I have been married for 35 years, have two grown children, and I am a proud Gigi to a granddaughter. I have worked as a director before having my children. I have been a Pre-K teacher for La Habra Hills Presbyterian preschool for 26 years. I absolutely enjoy working with children and getting them ready for Kindergarten. I am also a Sunday school teacher at my church.

Karen Sully

Teacher

I have been a preschool teacher at LHPPS for over 25 years. All four of my children attended this preschool and so did I as a child; this school holds a special place in my heart. I enjoy working with preschool children because I get to see my students experience school for the first time and show them the love of learning! I love watching my students develop their academic and social skills as the school year progresses. One of my favorite activities to participate in at LHPPS is the Harvest Parade because my favorite season is fall and it is one of the first times my students perform in front of others. Besides being a teacher, I love to read, hangout with my four dogs, go to Wienerschnitzel, and watch my grandchildren!

Terry Aguilar

Teacher

I have been a preschool teacher at LHHPP for 17 years. I’m married and have a 1 year old son. LHHPP is truly my home away from home. I received my Child Development III certificate from Mt. San Antonio College. I love working with children and watching them grow. On my free time I love to go to Disneyland with my family.

Alyssa Prieto

I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree in Human Services at California State University, Fullerton. This is my third year working at La Habra Presbyterian and I am passionate about supporting students and contributing to our school community. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, hiking, and spending time with friends and family. I am excited to continue making a positive impact here and am always eager to connect with others.

Hello preschool families! I am new to the preschool staff and am currently in college pursuing a degree in Early Childhood Education.
