Last week, Mrs. Beckman’s Spanish IV students had the unique opportunity to learn from local community leaders—family members of our students and proud members of the Phoenix family. Guest speakers—including small business owners and a real estate agent—shared their inspiring stories, offering valuable insights.
Students not only gained knowledge about leadership and entrepreneurship but also deepened their cultural understanding by exploring how language and identity shape professional experiences in our diverse community. ¡Aprender español abre puertas!
