STEAM Classes

Meet Your Teachers

Mrs. Dawn Gaches

Hello, my name is Dawn Gaches and I am a CTC teacher at Sutter Peak Charter. I taught High School, Middle School Science and CTE classes in the classroom for 7 years. This is my 4th year with Sutter Peak, and my 3rd year homeschooling my son as well. I have lived in Sacramento, California for the past 16 years and have an 8-year-old son named Luca. I love reading, going to the beach, and being with my family which includes 3 dogs and a bearded dragon. I look forward to fostering your child's interest in science and helping it come alive. Science is magic that is real, after all. I am looking forward to the 2025-2026 School Year, and seeing you all at our STEAM (Science in the Park days!)

Ms. Megan Hart

Get ready to ignite some serious innovation! I'm Megan Hart, and I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the Sutter Peak team as one of the new CTC teachers. I'm bringing seven years of experience teaching the incredible minds of first and second graders, and now I'm ready to channel that energy into the world of STEAM! For me, science isn't just a subject; it's where all other subjects magically intertwine, allowing students to explore the world with wonder and truly see their innovations come to life. I can't wait to share that joy with your superstar learner(s)!

In my off time, I'm exploring the beautiful area I've called home for 25 years. My husband, our energetic (almost 2-year-old!) son, and our dog are currently adventuring from our home base in Auburn, CA. We love hiking the local trails, camping, and skiing in the Sierra's each winter.

I look forward to meeting you all at the upcoming Wednesday STEAM Park Days! Let the exploring begin!
