Arlie Hunt, M. Ed.
Mr. Hunt standing in front of the actual, real live, Rosetta Stone!
I am passionate about history & geography and I love working with
students and helping them to catch the passion!
My goal is to get students to think. Specifically, I want them to think
like a historian. This means reading critically, questioning sources,
making a decision based on the evidence, and effectively
communicating that conclusion. I am convinced that thinking skills
are more important than having students memorize facts that can
be found instantaneously on their smartphones.

Education - I received a Bachelor of Arts with a dual-major in History
and Geography from the University of Arizona. I received my Secondary
Certification from the University of Phoenix, from which I also received
a Master of Arts in Education Administration.
Teaching Experience - This will be my twenty-eighth year as a teacher. All my teaching has been in the Chandler Unified School District. The first twelve
years were spent at Andersen Junior High School. (God bless the Junior
High Teachers!) The last fifteen have been right here at amazing Basha High
School. Go Bears!!!
Family - I have managed to stay married to the same amazing woman for 33 years. She is a speech-pathologist. We have two
Shi-Poos (Shih-tzu, Poodle mix), Finn and Marshall. They are the sweetest
boys. They hate it when school starts because they get used to spending
all their time with me.

Summer Highlights
Summer of 2023
San Diego with My Wife
My wife and I got to spend 4 days and 3 nights in lovely San Diego.
Gila Hike and meeting the Bear up close and personal
My friends and I go on an annual hiking/back packing trip to New Mexico. This
year was my favorite hike ever. It was memorable and enjoyable for so many
reasons, almost all of which involved water.
We hiked in the Gila Wilderness up the Middle Fork of the Gila.
