Hola, I’m Coach Mendez, and I’m excited to be your PE & Health Coach this school year! I have been a teacher with SAISD for 18 years. My first year, I was at Rogers Elementary as a Special Ed teacher. Then, I went to Austin Academy for 10 years and now I have now been at Fenwick Academy for 8 years! I love our students, families, and community!
I was born and raised in the valley, in a little town called Rio Grande City, Texas. My family still lives there and I try to go as much as possible. I love spending time with my family, friends and puppies. I love cats and dogs!
I love traveling and experiencing different cultures. Just like traveling opens up new perspectives, I believe keeping an open mind in PE helps us grow, work together, and discover new skills. Let’s make this year full of energy, teamwork, and exciting challenges! Get ready to move, learn, and have fun!
Go Falcons!!
