Wildcat Wednesday continues this week with a spotlight on Ms. Desberg, an English teacher at Whittier Tech who works with juniors and seniors.
Ms. Desberg is in her fourth year at Whittier Tech and brings 24 years of experience in education to her classroom. What she values most is that learning here is not just preparation for life. It is life. Hearing students talk about the skills they gain through shop and co-op work inspires her and reflects the independence and identity they are building as they prepare for their futures.
A fun fact worth celebrating. Ms. Desberg is getting married this year. 💍
Her advice for students is both reflective and empowering. "Romanticize your life on the inside. See yourself and your experiences as meaningful and worthy, even when things are not easy or perfect."
We are grateful for the perspective, care, and passion Ms. Desberg brings to Whittier Tech each day.

Whittier Tech’s Employee of the Month for December is Tara Mcdonald (Cosmetology).
Ms. Mcdonald consistently steps up for students without hesitation. When a senior needed support, she took the time to fix his hair, teach him how to style it, explain which products to use, and even provide a sample so he could practice until he was able to purchase his own.
Moments like this reflect the care, mentorship, and real world preparation that define Whittier Tech. Congratulations, Ms. Mcdonald, and thank you for making a meaningful difference every day.
