Ann Giluso

Professional Biography:
I graduated from San Diego State with a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies for Elementary Education.  I returned to my hometown and pursued jobs in the areas of banking and medicine.  After getting married and starting a family, I returned to the area of work I enjoy the most, which is teaching.  I have been aiding at SJCS in the Junior Kindergarten classroom for 6 years, and I thoroughly enjoy my place with these bright-eyed, eager-to-learn 4 and 5 year olds.

Personal Biography:
I am a native Californian, born in San Carlos and raised here in San Jose.  I grew up in a large family of 4 sisters and 1 brother, and I fit right in the middle of this group.  My husband, Matthew, and I have been married for 20 years, and we have 2 children.  Tony, a graduate of SJCS and Archbishop Mitty High School is in his first year at San Diego State, and Hannah is in 8th grade here at San Jose Christian.  When I am not working, I enjoy reading, walking, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.  We worship at Westgate Bible Church and enjoy our experience there.

Christian Philosophy of Education:
I am a firm believer, having come to know Christ later in my life, that He is the most important component of our lives.  I love being in an environment where I can help children learn about God, connect with God, build a relationship with God, and try to understand the immensity of His love and grace.  Having Christ in the center of your home, school, and church is God’s desire as well as mine, and I am proud and blessed to work at SJCS, a school whose beliefs encourage the same.
