Hello and welcome to 7th Grade Science. I am Mrs. Rocha and I am excited to be teaching my 7th year at Rhodes Middle School. My goal for each and every one of my students is to increase their love and understanding of biological science.
I began my love for science as a former SAISD student. While at Edison high school, I joined the LVN program where I began early college at St. Phillips. There, I was able to graduate and obtained my state license as a vocational nurse. I specialize in geriatrics and psych. After a few years, I reflected on the great opportunities given to me by SAISD and its wonderful teachers. I decided to go back to school and pursue a second career in teaching. I currently hold a Bachelors in Biology from St. Mary's University. I am certified to teach Life Science grades 7-12. I continue nursing during the summer, as I love both careers, nursing and teaching. Most of all, I enjoy being able to bring what I've learned out in the field into my classroom.
