Ms. Johnson is from Belen. She attended UNM in Albuquerque, where she earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Now she is finishing up her doctorate in educational leadership.
Ms. Johnson said she likes to teach high school, and she loves when her students “actually understand what [she is] teaching.”

Ms. Johnson and her husband have five children, four boys and one girl. A fun little fact is that four of her kids were all born on the same day, though in different years. She has eight grandkids and another on the way.
