Hi Wolfpack Family! I am Sharonda Blakley, and I am excited to be a part of the Plano West team as an AVID teacher.  I come to Plano West with over 14 years of educational experience in ELAR, and I have a passion for inspiring the minds of young people through education. I hail from the great state of Louisiana where we like to say, Laissez les bon temps rouler.  I am also a proud graduate of the Louisiana State University. Geaux Tigers!!  I believe through AVID, students can see a future of endless possibilities.They can create the life they want through hard work, dedication, and determination while using AVID as the vehicle to drive them to their destination.  I am eager to embark on this new journey with my Wolfpack family and looking forward to a great year!
