School Leaders

Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Mariesa Earl’s love for teaching and developing adolescents began in high school where she taught tap, jazz, ballet, hip-hop and gymnastics to kids ages 6 – 17. This side job peaked her interest in pursuing a career in Education as she grew to love working with children. Mariesa made her way to Northern California to attend Menlo College where she played soccer and basketball, and majored in Business management, with a concentration in Sports Management, in hopes to one day open her own dance studio. After graduating from Menlo College, Mariesa moved to Southern California to pursue a career in dance.

After receiving her teaching credential from California State University Northridge (CSUN), Mariesa entered her first-year teaching, as a math teacher, at Triumph Charter Academy in 2007. As a founding teacher, and over the next six years, Ms. Earl increased student achievement in mathematics, and in her last year at TCA, increased math proficiency to 98%. After being a classroom teacher for six years, Ms. Earl joined the PUC Instructional Team as a Math Coach for the next four years. During this time Mariesa received her Master’s in Educational Leadership and Administrative Credential from CSUN. In 2018, Mariesa came full circle, and transitioned into a new role as the Instructional Leader for PUC Triumph Charter Academy where she began her educational career. In 2019, Ms. Earl became the Principal of TCA, and is honored and excited to lead the community of Sylmar, and plans on continuing growth in student achievement and preparing students for college and career readiness.
