A Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, Master's degree in Curriculum Instruction, an Administrative License, and nearly a Master's degree in Spanish. Corbett teacher Lori Luna has been in school herself nine of the last 15 years, off and on. I believe her students are able to get a clear sense on just how much she values a good education! When Lori was a young child growing up in the Park Rose area of Portland, her parents purchased a small acreage in Corbett, building just a barn on the land. Lori remembers coming out on the weekends and in the summers to ride her horses and play while her dad pulled blackberries, mowed, split wood and just "puttered." After Lori got married and started her family with Joe, they decided to build on the acreage Lori loved as a child. Her father, uncles and Joe all pitched in to craft a wonderful two story home in 1995, where they still reside today. Lori and Joe raised three children, two of them twin boys, who are now 6'4" men of 21 years! Daughter Antonia is 22 years old, and all three graduated from Corbett High. When Lori started her teaching career at Corbett, it was in the middle school as a 7th grade teacher. It was in her second year that the grades became blended. Looking back, Lori says it was one of the best things to happen for the kids on many levels, eliminating the "divide" that was felt. Many changes have occurred over the years, and Lori has been there to be a part of it all, now acting as a middle/high school assistant principal. Teaching six periods of high school Spanish per day, she also has a full period devoted to her administrative role. When asked if she still rides horses on her property, she laughed and simply said "No time, no more horses!"
