Staff Spotlight
Hello! My name is Alisha Singh. I have been part of the Newport Heights community for 23 years! I have been a second grade teacher and a third grade teacher, sometimes both at the same time! I love teaching and I am so happy I get to do it at Newport Heights! My family is a true Newport Heights family, my son and daughter are both proud graduates of Newport Heights. My son Ryan is a junior at Newport High School now and my daughter Mia is an eighth grader at Tyee. My husband, Reuben is not a Newport Heights graduate, but he has spent enough time here, he may as well be! I love teaching and helping students realize how smart, friendly, and curious they are! I am a proud Canadian, born in Toronto and raised all over the west coast of Canada! When I am not at school, I love reading, traveling (especially to Canada!), learning new recipes, exploring new places, shopping, working out, spending time with family and friends, and sipping on a nice hot cup of tea.
