Lorena Johnston

I am so excited to be your child's 4th grade teacher for the 2022-2023 school year! I’m looking forward to working with my students and their parents and accomplishing many goals while making memories here at UPCS!

I was born and raised in Ventura and graduated from Buena High School. My parents were born and raised in Mexico, and I am one of eight children. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from Mount St. Mary’s University in 2009 and worked in the field of accounting until 2018.  I graduated from University of La Verne in 2019 with my Teaching Credential, 2020 with my Master's, and this will be my 4th year teaching.

I am married and have a twelve year old son, Noah.  We love to spend our free time playing outside with our labradoodle (Einstein), playing board games, watching movies, visiting family and have an addiction to Disney!  Thank you so much for all of your support and I very much look forward to being a partner in your child’s education!
