Last week, we proudly celebrated Mr. Huerta, one of our 4th Grade Math & Science teachers, as our Tiger of the Week!

We appreciate Mr. Huerta for holding himself and his students to high expectations and for his continued dedication to student success. He consistently communicates with families, sharing strategies and homework support to help students succeed at home, and is a model of professionalism and collaboration, welcoming others to learn from his planning and instruction.

Thank you, Mr. Huerta, for your dedication to our students, families, and DeAnda team! Congratulations!!
