Karinna Rojas, Grades 7-8

Mrs. Rojas is joining us as our new 7th and 8th grade teacher this year! While new to teaching, Mrs. Rojas is no stranger to education. She has worked as a student coordinator at an inner city school in New York, worked as a consultant analyst for the Department of Education, and worked in a residential school for children with trauma and emotional disabilities. She loves to work with kids because of their honesty.

When asked what she is most looking forward to this year with her class, she responded

I’m excited to try new and innovative things to keep my students learning and engaged!

Her positivity, energy, and love for God are the first things you will notice about her, and we are excited she has joined our TVA family. Welcome Mrs. Rojas!
