Kerry Johnson, proud mom of Skyview students Jack and Ivy, is thrilled to once again put on her teaching hands (covered, doubtless, in dry erase marker marks!) and join the inspiring staff at Skyview School. For eleven years, Kerry taught as a self-contained special education teacher in the Phoenix area, with ten of those years spent teaching in the Madison School District. She particularly enjoys the task of helping struggling students find ways to achieve and shine so that they love coming to school each day.

In her personal life, Kerry enjoys spending time with her husband Brent, the kiddos, and their dogs, Betsy and Boomer, writing and working up songs with the other "Gurls" in her band, The Gurley Girls, traveling anywhere, teaching piano, cooking, hiking, and enjoying time with her one-of-a-kind family and friends.

Greetings!

I'm Joe and have been at Skyview since 2013, working as a Special Education Paraprofessional. In January 2020, I received my certification and am now a Special Education Teacher at Skyview.

Before moving to Prescott, I studied Outdoor Education at Colorado Mountain College in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. I have over ten years experience working with adults with special needs and developmental disabilities. I have worked as a behavior coach in the elementary school setting, mentored children through Arizona Children’s Association, and have been a Big Brother volunteer in Yavapai County since 2009. I’m currently enrolled at Yavapai College, and have lived in Prescott since 2008.

I live with my wife, Kate, and our two daughters, Bay & Joon. When not at Skyview I’m frequently on the disc-golf course with my two dogs or working around the house. Although I have many outdoor passions, none are as great as being on the river. I am happy to be part of the Skyview team and feel fortunate to work with such a dedicated community.

Hello Skyview Families!!

My name is Lupe Mercado Martinez, I was born in Mexico City and moved to Prescott Arizona twenty years ago. I have an AAS in Early Childhood Education and six years of experience working with children ranging from three months to five-years old. When I am not in the classroom I enjoy traveling, spending time with family, drinking delicious coffee, and baking. I am excited to embark on this new journey as one of the second/third grade aides alongside Mrs. Anna. I am honored to be part of this amazing Skyview community and I look forward to being part of your child’s growth and learning experiences.

I love being a teacher because every day I wake up excited to go to work, knowing that at some point in my day, a child is going to teach me a new lesson. My students make me see the world through their eyes.

I have taught elementary education in the Prescott area since 1993, teaching grades 1st through 5th. I am a second generation Arizona native and attended junior high and high school in the beautiful city of Prescott. After graduation from Prescott High, I earned my BS in Elementary Education from NAU. Currently, I am a K8 Arizona certified teacher with a Structured English Immersion Endorsement. In 2004, I was honored to receive the Yavapai County K3 Teacher of the Year award.

I met my husband, Brian, while attending PHS. Both our children, Jake and Emma, have been students of Skyview School since kindergarten!

Hi, I am Karie Hammond and I have been the occupational therapist here at Skyview since 2019. I love the community and how the educators all work together and want what is best for all of the students.

I have been an occupational therapist since 1996 and love helping people of all ages be as capable as they can be. Here at Skyview, I mainly work on fine motor skills which of course includes handwriting, tying, using scissors, typing, using a ruler, and so much more.

I have 2 children, Alexandra and Dillon, 2 dogs, and a cat. I have been married to my husband for 16 years. We love camping, traveling, hiking, and watching movies together. I also love yoga, Reiki, and am working on my aromatherapy certification.
