Dolores Silva

What is your position at City High? 

Spanish teacher

Who is your favorite woman in history? 

Dolores Huerta

What is your favorite quote from that person?

“Sí se puede”

How are you a role model? 

There are students like me that carry social and racial trauma that I serve as well as students who otherwise do not learn about the richness of our diverse culture and history.  Seeing me as a professional helps others envision themselves as professionals but also gives others an opportunity to directly interact and learn about others different from the “mainstream norm”.

What impact do you want to leave on City High?

My first goal is to provide students with skills to become lifelong learners, language learners as well as engaged productive citizens of society.  After that, anything else is a plus!
