Fifth Grade Teacher

Steve Walz 

I have been a teacher in Mission Viejo for the past 20+ years. I have had nearly 30 years in education, and have taught students from kindergarten through high school, with the bulk of my classroom experience in elementary school. I am a proud graduate from the University of Iowa, and a proud member of the Mission Viejo community.

Hi! I have been a 5th grade teacher for 3 years, although I have enjoyed working with kids of all ages. I love when students have that "aha" moment and find themselves loving learning. For hobbies, I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, playing board games, and spending time with my wife and two cats. I am really excited to be a part of the Mission team and get to know you all!

Hello everyone! This will be my third year teaching 5th grade, and only my second year living in Colorado.  I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California before moving here with my wife Tatiana, our dog Koda, and our cat Blue. I also lived in Hawaii for a year of undergrad where I played NCAA Division 2 women's basketball. After college, I began teaching elementary and coaching girls high school basketball. Outside of going to the gym or watching sports, I have a new-found hobby of hiking and being outside in nature.
