I am a proud member of the Middle College High School graduating class of 1991 at SCCC. My experience as a Middle College graduate inspired me to pursue higher education and the opportunity to spend my entire 18 year career teaching at Middle College High School.  My life long commitment to social justice teaching and critical pedagogy comes from my family roots.  When I was born, my mother and father had the honor of working along side Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta in support of the United Farm Workers movement.  I’ve taken inspiration from my family experience into my teaching, creating an educational environment that encourages critical thinking, where solutions to real life challenges can be discovered through praxis.

My role at Middle College is to provide extra support to students in reading, writing, and other subjects as necessary. I also spend time helping students prepare for their state assessments and help them with special projects that they need for graduation. Additionally, I manage the Individual Education Plans for those students who have IEPs. I strongly believe that with encouragement and support, every student can be successful at Middle College.

  1. I am very interested in learning more about your school and how to provide a small stipend every month for either/both a struggling student (such as the young woman featured in the KUOW segment) or school supplies, books, or whatever suits your schools needs best.
    This is a true and sincere offer. I believe all children deserve to start out on the same foot and I have been blessed with good fortune in my life and feel the desire to pass something along to help others.

    • Thank you for your support Carolyn! We look forward to meeting and will contact you via e-mail to set up a meeting.
