Mrs. Penisten
Welcome to my page!
My name is Julie Penisten, and I have been in Sunnyvale ISD since 2020. I began my teaching career in 2005 in Scurry-Rosser ISD and then moved to my hometown of Forney ISD. I have experience teaching middle school and high school English as well as AP English Literature and Composition.
I currently teach 8th grade English and 8th grade Honors English at Sunnyvale Middle School. I am also a sponsor of the National Junior Honor Society.
I attended Austin College in Sherman, Texas where I earned both a Master of Arts degree in Education and a Bachelor of Arts degree in English. Go Roos! I also studied at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Go Bears!
I have a wonderful husband named J.R., and we have a fantastic son, Nathan, who attends Sunnyvale Middle School. We also have a precious goldendoodle named Ellie Kate. I enjoy reading and collecting books, photography, musicals, and travel.
I am excited to be a Sunnyvale Raider, and I look forward to a great year!
