Sally Perley, Vice President
Sally’s family moved to Coronado in 1971, settling into the first of the many Shores condominium buildings yet to be built. In fact, when her mom called to find out where to send their rising 2nd grader, the Coronado school system had not yet had a child come from the Shores so she was the first! She attended Central School, Glorietta, Francis Parker, and CHS where she developed a love of history from Ron Jones, her history teacher. Sally pursued a history degree at UCSB and got her teaching credential. She has taught high school, preschool and elementary school. She received a Masters in Education from Georgia State University and gained an Orton Gillingham Associate Level certification. For 9 years Sally was a 3rd and 4th grade teacher for The Schenck School, a school for dyslexia, in Atlanta, Georgia. She currently tutors several children online every morning and feels it’s a great way to start her day! Her husband, Jamie, also grew up in Coronado - his parents and grandparents lived and had businesses here on the island. In fact, two items from his grandfather’s “Coronado Pharmacy” now reside in the CHA museum (the safe and the telephone booth). After living in Atlanta, Georgia for almost 25 years, in 2019, they made the move back to Coronado.
