Allia Calkins

KINDERGARTEN TEACHER
allia.calkins@ousd.org

I am so happy to be joining the Thornhill community!

I grew up in Rochester, NY and made my way to Oakland via a stop in Nashville, TN where I studied economics and history at Vanderbilt University. After graduating, I spent two years in San Francisco as a resident teacher at Town School for Boys. I taught second grade and kindergarten and decided that teaching was the job for me!

​Before coming to Thornhill, I received my masters in teaching and CA credential from the UC Berkeley Educators for Excellence and Equity program. On the weekends you can find me walking around Lake Merritt, coaching the Oakland Special Olympics swim team, or making homemade ice cream.
