Welcome to the Sixth Grade Home Page!
Hello! My name is Marina Hernandez, and I am thrilled to be a part of the St. Anthony of Padua School community as the sixth-grade homeroom teacher.
I am excited to start the 2024-2025 school year off strong and to support my students in developing their knowledge of History and English Language Arts. I graduated from Cal State LA with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science and a minor in Sociology and Educational Civic Engagement. I am also currently working towards my Master’s degree in Education.
My journey in teaching began at a young age when I started teaching my five-year-old brother using worksheets I had collected from my teacher. As a first-generation college graduate, I deeply understand the transformative power of education and am passionate about fostering a lifelong curiosity for learning in my students. With my five years of experience teaching middle school ELA and Social Studies, I have witnessed students’ incredible passion when engaging with these subjects. I firmly believe in challenging my students to become not just learners but critical thinkers and leaders.
I look forward to leading the SAP Student Government by inspiring students to represent the student body’s interests through innovative programs that enrich student lives and Catholic identity.
I believe that every student has the potential to make a significant difference. I eagerly look forward to witnessing the remarkable achievements WE can accomplish together.
