Aloha Keiller Leadership Academy (KLA) Primary Grades parents and students!

My name is James Clancy, I am looking forward to having an awesome year at KLA! HERE IS MY STORY! For the 2026-2027 school year I will be teaching Physical Education for grades Transitional Kindergarten through 5th grade and focusing on the development of each student through Physical Education! This is my 11th year teaching here at KLA (2016-present) and I am excited to meet the new students and their parents and to see the returning students and their parents here at KLA. I am originally from Hawai’i and moved to San Diego in 2010. I graduated from the University of Hawai’i at Manoa in 2005 with my Bachelor Degree in Education: Physical Education K-12. I also received my CLAD from the University from Riverside in 2015. I have been teaching Physical Education for 5 years (2005-2010) in Hawai’i at the High school level and have been substitute teaching here in San Diego from 2010-2016. Being from Hawai’i, I enjoy most water sports and have been competing in Bodyboarding events since the age of 16 years old. I also enjoy Stand Up Paddling (SUP), collecting Hot Wheels/diecast cars and hanging out with my 15 year old daughter and my friends as well. For the summer I taught at KLA Summer Academy and enjoyed the 6 week program with returning and new students that will be attending KLA for the 2026-2027 school year. I enjoyed teaching the students some new activities and seeing them living an active lifestyle. I also did a road trip to Los Banos, a city just below San Jose, for my good friend's 54th birthday party with a Hawaii theme! It was an awesome time with friends and Ohana. My goal for all of my students is to Achieve the Physical Education Standards and Benchmarks at the Proficiency level. My Expectations for each student is to try their best and to give their 100% effort so we (as a team) can work toward achieving these goals! I really look forward to working with all of my students and getting to know them and their parents as well. Let’s all have a great 2026-2027 school year. Looking forward to a great and active school year. LET’S CREATE OUR STORY……….

Aloha,
