Hi, my name is Sarah Puentes.  I have a military background and my MOS (job) was in Intelligence as well as Finance and Disbursing. I was also the first Water Combat Instructor on the West Coast. Before going into the Marines, I was offered a division two swimming scholarship to a college in South Dakota.  I believe that you should shoot for the moon and you will always have the stars to fall back upon.  

I am married to my most amazing husband, Charley, and we have the most incredible son together, Isaiah #soccermom.  I cannot forget my parents, Brent and Libby, who are also a HUGE support system to us.  If your student were to ever come home telling you about the most wonderful cookies that they had at school, it was because my mother had made them for them.

I became a teacher because I was not only following my calling, but my goal was to make a positive impact on the students and to help inspire them to be the best that they can be.  I will push them past what they think they are capable of achieving. They will be loved and held accountable as if they were at home.  Know that they are in the best hands when they are at Effingham County Middle School and with me.
