Mrs. Maria Ross

7th Grade Core: English/Social Studies

I bring over 32 years of experience in education, along with a passion for teaching and a broad perspective shaped by a diverse professional background. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching in a wide variety of settings, including high school (teaching English as a Second Language), a private parochial school in Southern California, middle school in Flagstaff, Arizona, CUSD’s bilingual immersion school, and even a Bureau of Indian Affairs school located at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Each of these experiences has shaped the way I view students, learning, and the importance of connection in the classroom.

I hold both undergraduate and graduate degrees in education from Northern Arizona University, as well as an Administrative Services Credential. Outside the classroom, I’m an avid traveler who loves exploring new cultures and a passionate supporter of the arts and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

I look forward to a wonderful year of learning and growth together.
