Guadalupe Meza is a Spanish Educator at South Mountain High School in Phoenix, Arizona. Ms. Meza has dedicated her instructional career to motivate her students (Native and non-native speakers) to fight for their dreams and not let anybody, or obstacle, interfere with their goal of acquiring a higher education. In her seven years of teaching, she has been able to help impact the lives of many students, and help them find scholarships and motivate non-native Spanish speakers to keep learning Spanish. Ms. Meza’s teaching philosophy impacts her students more, because of her unique non-traditional, yet knowledge-filled, approach to learning.
