Welcome to Mrs. Ann Pendleton's site!
Hello! Here's a little bit about me:
I am a lifelong resident of Ripon and child of Dutch immigrants. I attended Ripona and Ripon Elementary Schools and graduated from Ripon High School in 1989. In high school, I fell in love with science and decided I wanted to become a Biology teacher, thanks to my own high school science teacher and mentor, Gary Meyers.
After earning a BS Biological Sciences with a concentration in Botany, I began my teaching career by substitute teaching and teaching summer school for Ripon Unified and was hired to teach middle school science for Jefferson School District in Tracy in 1995. I remained at Jefferson until the birth of our older daughter in 2001. She was joined by our second daughter two years later. I returned to Ripon Unified as a substitute teacher in 2008. In August of 2015, I joined the Science Department at Ripon High and am thrilled to be a part of the World's Greatest High School!
In July 2025, my husband (who is also a Ripon High alumnus) and I celebrated our 29th anniversary. Our daughters are members of the RHS Classes of 2019 and 2021.
In my free time, I like to hang out with my family, support the Ripon High athletic teams, maintain the Ripon High SuperFan social media sites and make crazy SuperFan videos with my esteemed colleague, Mr. Wright. I am part of the worship team at Ripon Grace. I love music and was a member of Ripon's Sweet Harmony Women's Chorus for 16 years and tracked currency on wheresgeorge.com for many years, but I had to give those two hobbies up because SuperFan planning was taking up too much of my time!
