Vista Murrieta High School

Intro:

Hello! I'm Tara Thielen, English Teacher, and I am so proud to be a first year Bronco! 

I taught 10th & 12th grade English for 10 years in North County San Diego, and I am ecstatic to now be at the most spirited (and BEST) school in America, Vista Murrieta! I feel so fortunate to teach in the community that I call home. I have been married for 8 years and I have two tiny future Broncos, Ivy - age 1, and Lyla - age 3.
