Mx. Phylicia Guevara

Hello, and welcome to our classroom community! My name is Mx. Guevara, and I’ll be your child’s teacher this year. This will be my seventh year teaching at MUSD! I love building classroom community and helping students develop a lifelong passion for learning. I look forward to getting to know and collaborating with your students and families!

About Me:

I grew up and still live in San Jose. I studied English and Urban Education at Santa Clara University. After graduating, I worked at Reading Partners, a non-profit literacy program, before going back to SCU to earn my teaching credential as well as a master's degree in Education. 

My parents emigrated from the Philippines shortly before I was born. I also have two younger sisters and one dog & one cat. While I don't speak Tagalog, I can understand when it is spoken to me. As a Filipino-American, recognizing and celebrating both sides of my heritage is very important to me.

Along with helping students achieve academic standards, I understand the importance of social-emotional learning and look forward to celebrating all my students' different cultures, backgrounds, and identities!
