Vicki Downer married her high school sweetheart and began her teaching career in Montana at Mount Ellis Academy, the same academy she graduated from many years ago.  In 1996 when an opportunity came to move to Wenatchee and pursue her career teaching high school English at CCA, she and her family eagerly took on this new adventure. She loves teenagers, eating cherries, reading and writing, and bicycling the loop trail. Her favorite role is that of “grandma.”
