Maureen Whalen

2ND GRADE TEACHER

​Class Website  | Amazon Wish List

My name is Maureen Whalen and I am so excited to be joining the Thornhill community as a 2nd grade teacher!

​I grew up in the suburbs of the SF Bay Area and graduated with a theater degree from SFSU. Right after college, I spent the next 6 years working in Los Angeles and New York as a Casting Director’s associate. After moving back to San Francisco, I decided it was time to pursue my dream of becoming an elementary school teacher.

I started my teaching career in Oakland Unified in 2008 as a 2nd/3rd combo teacher, but have spent most of my teaching years in upper elementary, with a 3 year “pit stop” as a literacy coach (with a focus on early literacy). Now, in year 12, I am excited to get back to where it all began for me in the primary grades. I love “the littles!”

When I’m not at school, I’m spending time with my husband, Matt, and my rising 1st grade daughter, Aria. I love gardening, reading and, most of all, spending time with my family.
