School Social Workers

Hi! I’m Ms. Sanchez, and I’m excited to be returning to Canyon for my sixth year. It has been an honor to help build and grow our Wellness Center and create a space where students feel welcomed, supported, and connected.

I’m passionate about supporting students through early adolescence, a unique time filled with growth, self-discovery, increasing independence, and lots of change. I love helping students build confidence, resilience, and strong connections, while also supporting families as they navigate this chapter and grow together.
