¡HOLA Y BIENVENIDOS AL ESPAÑOL II/III/IV!
I'm thankful to be at MCHS again this school year, and excited to help your students progress in their Spanish studies. I'm originally from Wesson, and received my bachelor's in general education from Leavell College in New Orleans, Louisiana. I have worked in varying levels of education, teaching a wide range of backgrounds ever since -- all the way from birth through high school. I have two children -- Siana and Ari (who are also little Jags that are excited about one day roaming the halls of MC the way they see my students today) and a very sassy but sweet cat named Lucy. We attend Grace City Church in Jackson, and love finding fun things to do around town or just chilling out across the Rez at home.
I feel like I've finally found my home here in the Jungle: having been here since 2016 after one year teaching in New Hebron, then nine years teaching at a bilingual school in Guadalajara, Mexico -- the cradle of mariachi, tequila, tortas ahogadas, and Guillermo del Toro. It's great to be able to use my real life experience to help give a little context and fun to my Spanish classes in the best school district and zone in the world. I teach Spanish 2, 3, and 4 and I'm thrilled to be able to dig more deeply into the language with your students.
Important information will be posted on Canvas, and I will keep relevant links on this page. Always feel free to send me an email at hrivera@madison-schools.com should you have any questions or comments.
