Faculty and Staff


Because of strong academic growth for all racial and cultural student groups, Washington has been recognized with the Title I Academic Achievement Award. Many of our teachers have won Prudential Teaching Awards for excellence and are trained in GLAD (Guided Language Acquisition Design), allowing them more skills to challenge every student at all levels.

Teachers can be reached using BUSD’s standard email address protocol with the first and last name of the person you would like to reach: firstlast@berkeley.net.
