About me...

Hi, my name is Mark Gonzales, and I would like to welcome you to the Storm!

I have been an English teacher at CHS since 2010; that time includes experience at the 9th and 11th grade levels, with both Pre AP and AP classes. The Fall of 2019 will be the first time I have taught Story of Movies. It has been the best job by far to work with the youth of this community, and I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with students at Cleveland for as long as possible. This is a great place to be!

I am a graduate from La Cueva High School with a degree in English from the University of New Mexico. I am a National Boards Certified Teacher, and I hold a Level 3 license from the New Mexico Public Education Department with a teaching certificate from New Mexico Highlands University.

My amazing wife and I have two beautiful children who are also enrolled in Rio Rancho Public Schools, so I do see the parent's perspective of our educational system. Being raised and educated almost entirely in New Mexico at a variety of schools has given me a strong understanding of our diverse community, and I try to use that experience every year in my classrooms.
