Spanish Class

The Spanish Class at Green Level High School supports and guides its students along their language acquisition journey and instills in them a passion for learning, living, and loving the Spanish language and the Spanish culture. I believe that language and communication are at the heart of the human involvement. I must prepare students to communicate successfully in a multicultural society and in communities around the world.
