Gen Nakanishi

Prior to coming Murray I spent 20 years doing coordination of personnel and project management in the business world. Before that I raised my family and have 2 adult children who graduated from Murray.  I began my professional life as an elementary school teacher and doing inservices for teachers in science curriculum. Now, I am thrilled to be here working with parents, guardians and the community to bring your expertise and support to Murray.  

Our volunteer program is entitled "Mighty Valuable Person" and that is exactly what each and every volunteer is. We have a number of special opportunities at Murray Junior High School for you to help out here at school. Since many activities are scheduled when many parents are working, retirees are wonderful resources for us.

 Whether you are a parent, a guardian, a grandparent or a member of the community your skills and time will be greatly appreciated and utilized. To help with one of our activities or for more information please contact Gen Nakanishi at gen.nakanishi@spps.org; Phone: 651-293-8740 ext. 1012
