Mary Ojala
Saludos, todos- mi nombre es Mary Ojala...

Greetings, everyone, my name is Mary Ojala, and I am the Spanish teacher at Creative Arts High School. It is my pleasure to bring a multicultural and bilingual emphasis to this great learning venue. A bit about me...

I began to study Spanish at the age of 10in Mendota Heights, MN, and loved it right from the start. I have always found it fascinating to use a new system of communication to learn about the world. I have earned a B.A. in the language from the University of MN. Later, I earned an M.A. in Multicultural Ed. and ESL from Northern Arizona University. I began teaching in 1990 in Phoenix, where my Spanish was honed through daily use.

My focus at CAHS is to develop in our students the valuable skill of having a second language, which will give them a profound advantage in the future.
Along the way, I seek to heighten cultural awareness and appreciation of all cultures. Of course, we have fun along the way learning and using Spanish.

I am thrilled to be here- please contact me with any questions you might have for me.

Mary Ojala
