Affectionately called Mrs. U, she gives all she has to her students. Considered an outstanding teacher around PHS, Mrs. Uyesugi received state and national attention in 1982. She was named one of the six outstanding teachers in the state by the National Education Association. Twenty-five of her twenty-seven years at PHS have been spent as adviser to the Paolite. This way she can satisfy the “newspaper woman” in her and still teach. In the span of her teaching career, Mrs. Uyesugi has been nationally named Outstanding Journalism Teacher of the Year two years in a row. One of the founders of the Orange County Players, Mrs. Uyesugi admits, “Much of the teaching I do is drama oriented.” She feels that many students hide behind a mask, and acting is one way to shed it. The book Don’t Cry Chiisai is her personal prize as an author. Published five years ago, it depicts her life with husband Eddie. Explaining her philosophy of teaching, Mrs. Uyesugi says, “Kids want to know somebody cares about them, and I do.” That’s the biggest reason that we at PHS love “U”.

At PHS, learning is more than just books. We are taught to read between the lines. We are actors, artists, Nobel scientists. We challenge each other to become not Just numbers to be erased, but individuals Who hold the future in our hands. Academic Divider 23
