Faculty & Staff – Armona Union Academy
Armona Union Academy has a longstanding tradition of hiring some of the best faculty that the Central Valley has to offer. All of our teachers are credentialed, and together they have over 210 years of combined teaching experience at the elementary and secondary levels.
Armona Union Academy promotes open communication between parents, teachers and constituents and welcomes your suggestions, ideas, and feedback.
True education means more than pursuing a certain course of study. It has to do with the whole person…It is the harmonious development of the physical, the mental, and the spiritual powers.
The source of such an education is brought to view in these inspired words that point to the Infinite One (Jesus): In Him “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”Colossians 2:3
