Hi Patriot Families!
I am Charlitha Dotson. This is my 7th year teaching at PUHSD as an Education Specialist (SPED). I teach Basic Physical Science, Basic Earth Science, and Study Skills. Teaching is my passion and a spiritual gift from God, and I’ve been doing it for 20 years! I love teaching, learning, and having fun in the classroom! I am stern but FAIR! And I have a heart for my students and their futures as productive citizens.
Every scholar has the potential to be a success in life! Today's Scholars are teachers, cosmetologists, lawyers, farmers, etc.—productive future citizens. Science benefits each of us in many facets of our life; therefore, physical science and earth science will provide scholars with real-world working knowledge of scientific principles that help us navigate jobs and careers in the workforce.
Background
I was born and raised in New Orleans, LA, but I have resided in California since 2003. I have been married to Gregg for 16 years and have a 15-year-old son, John.
Education
I earned a Bachelorette from The University of New Orleans, a Master's of Education, a multiple subject credential, an English supplemental credential from National University, and a reading certificate and special education credential from California Baptist University.
