Public Schools: Career Opportunities
Teresa Leyva
Education Specialist
What is your commitment to urban education and why have you chosen to work at SHPS?
My commitment to urban education is to provide a space where scholars can feel confident in investing in their education. A place where scholars have the choice to be anything they want to be and know they have a support system available.

High School Dance Teacher
What is your commitment to urban education and why have you chose to work at SHPS?
My commitment to urban education is to do my best to make every child feel as though they can do and be whatever they want to regardless of their background or tough situations. I chose SHPS for many reasons, one to be apart of giving back to an urban community and two because having a black teacher increases low income black student graduation rate and I want to be a positive face for the children that look like me and those that don’t.

My commitment is to make a difference in urban education, because I believe all children deserve an equal and fair education to help them reach their full potential no matter their background or ethnicity. I strive to provide a rigorous educational environment and hold students to high expectations that will lead to their success. I choose to work at PS7 because the staff here are dedicated to providing the best education to all of their students.
