Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our students come from a very diverse and global background, and their families are passionate about their kids' success to make better lives. Our kids will chart many different paths in our new high school, whether through continued academics in college, or in various CTE pathways such as nursing, construction, or military. Every day I come to work, I am overjoyed to learn more about my students, and they in turn love to learn about the world we live in. I am eternally grateful for the opportunities they give me each and every day!
