Meet Our 2nd Grade Teachers
Mrs. Katherine Altmann
Hello! My name is Katherine Altmann and I have had the pleasure of working at Hancock for over 20 years! I received my degree in Marine Science Chemistry, so as you can imagine, I love science. I also have a deep rooted love for books, and enjoy coordinating our two Scholastic Book Fairs every year! It is truly an honor to be working with our Hancock Families!

Mrs. Angelica Gapasin
Hi! My name is Angie Gapasin. I have been at Hancock Elementary for over 20 years. My dad was in the military and I used to live right here, up the street in the Murphy Canyon Housing area. I graduated from Serra High School and received my Liberal Arts degree at San Diego State University. I loved living in this housing area and made great friends that I still keep in touch with today. I love working with military dependents and understand how it feels to have a parent away for a period of time.

Mrs. Lisa Hess
Hello Hancock Families! My name is Lisa Hess and I teach 2nd grade with a wonderful teaching partner, Leah Dobek. I have taught kindergarten through 6th grade but love 2nd grade the most! I have been teaching at Hancock Elementary for 4 years but at various schools around San Diego for a total of 14 years. Hancock is one of the best schools I have worked at. I love the hard-working, dedicated staff; the eager, bright-eyed students; and the patriotic, supportive families. When I am not teaching, you could find me with my two boys (Lukas 5 and Kole 1) and husband around Tierrasanta. My husband teaches at Farb Middle School and we live in Tierrasanta, so needless to say, we are a Tierrasanta Family! Hope to see you around the neighborhood sometime!
