Now aboard… Coach Paige Guedry! Coach Paige called herself a Patriot at one point in time. She attended Curtis for 4 years and graduated in 2016. From there, she attended Delgado Community College and Loyola University, where she studied Fine Arts and Business. She played sports throughout college, including basketball and track and field (specifically javelin). One student described Coach Paige as "a very good teacher who explains everything well, is always willing to help out, and is more understanding than your average teacher.”

Now welcoming…Coach Ryan Kamlade! Coach Ryan is the offensive line coach as well as a varsity baseball coach and a teacher. He attended Delgado college where he played baseball under Joe Scheuermann, then transferred to UNO. When asked why he wanted to become a coach, he said, “ It's always been in the family. My dad was a coach and administrator for the last 40 years and coaching has always been in our family.” Coach Ryan said the best part about being a coach was “seeing kids live out their dreams, and accomplishing things that they never thought they could accomplish, and helping shape young men and women to grow and become better.” His actions and personality are affecting his students in positive ways. Some of his students stated that Coach Ryan is a great role model, very caring and understanding of his students, and always wants the best for his students.

Next up... Mrs. Jessica Pineda. She attended the University of New Orleans where she studied early childhood communication. Her students described her as nice, sometimes cheezy, hard working, and a really good teacher. Something that she wants to accomplish this year is to instill love and respect for different cultures around the world. She's fluent in sign language and has been teaching for 11 years. Mrs. Pineda stated, " Being able to see students grow and building relationships with them and their parents," is what I look forward to this year.

Last, but certainly not least... Mrs. Grace Cavazos. She teaches 8th grade English and Spanish II. She attended the University of South Alabama where she pursued her masters' degree in TESOL with a south outline. Mrs. Cavazos got her bachelor's degree in foreign languages and literature, with a concentration in Spanish, along with 2 minors in linguistics, Jewish and Holocaust studies. WOW! Isn't that amazing? This is her second year teaching and students describe Mrs. Cavazos as pretty, very understanding, a really good Spanish teacher, and very nice".
