By the time the children reach fourth grade, they are bilingual, and by the time they reach sixth grade, they are fully biliterate.

When I think of Escuela de Guadalupe, the people are the first thing that comes to mind — my teachers, the staff, my friends and even my friends’ families. … I’m smiling while writing this because Escuela made learning fun, and my experiences there sparked my competitive learning nature for the rest of my academic career. I could tell Escuela always believed in me and still does. The staff still reaches out to me all the time, and I love it.
After Escuela, I attended St. Mary’s Academy (grades 6-8) and Regis Jesuit High School. I currently attend Colorado School of Mines, where I’m in my final year studying mechanical engineering with an emphasis in automotive design. I am currently working on a senior design project to convert an internal combustion engine-powered Formula SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) vehicle to an electric Formula SAE vehicle.
I am excited to be graduating in May with a 3.6 GPA and am still deciding between two full-time offers that have been extended to me for post-graduation.
