My name is Wendy Vanegas and it is my pleasure to introduce myself as the Spanish teacher at Hyde Park MS. I have taught at CCSD for eight years and this will be my second year working with middle schoolers as a Spanish teacher.

I was born in Mexico and I moved to Las Vegas with my family when I was 17. I graduated from UNLV with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and I also have a Masters in Spanish from Middlebury College.

My love of languages and cultures inspired me to study abroad in Spain and Palestine. These lived experiences have allowed me to immerse myself in different cultures and learn from a myriad of perspectives, which has enriched me as an educator.

I look forward to working with my students and explore Spanish in a way that will inspire them to be lifelong Spanish language learners.
