My name is Cheryl Fradenburg, and I have been an instructor for thirty-eight years.  For the past twenty-one years, it has been my pleasure to work at Mingus Union High School.

 As a native of Arizona, I earned my teaching degree from Arizona State University.  I have a dual major in education; K-12 Special Education and Elementary Education. New Mexico State University in Las Cruces is where I received my masters' degree in Educational Leadership and Management.

I have been married to my husband, Dan, for 40 years and we have two wonderful sons, Danny and Dane.  My son, Danny, has a beautiful daughter named Eva. My friends told me that being a grandparent is terrific, and they were right - I couldn't ask for a better playmate than Eva.  We had a blast at Sea World and the beach this summer!  My son, Dane, attends a university in New Mexico.  Our pets include two dogs - Rocko and Hunter, along with three chickens.  Enjoying time with my family, traveling, hiking, reading, and being with my terrific students are among my favorite ways to spend time.
