Hola todos!
My name is Katherine Weckhurst and I am the high school Spanish teacher. I am originally from Colombia, and have been a second language teacher for over 25 years! I started out teaching English to native Spanish speakers in Barranquilla, and Medellin, Colombia, and for the past 12 years I have been here at Hillcrest teaching Spanish to native English speakers! I started as the Elementary Spanish teacher here at HCS, but have transitioned to the bigger kids these past few years. This year I will be fully high school!!! It only took me 12 years to finally graduate to the big campus! I thought high school was something I would never do, because I love the little ones so much, and have fun teaching them. I have discovered in me a new passion and excitement for teaching and reaching the older kids on campus as well, and I truly do enjoy teaching in the high school. Learning a new language can be very overwhelming, but through games, contests, skits, music videos, and field trips, learning a new language can become an exciting adventure! |
Foreign Language ProgramTeacher(s): Katherine Weckhurst
The HCS Foreign Language Department recognizes that learning about different cultures and languages enables our students to appreciate and better understand the world around them. As students develop their proficiency in languages other than their own, they become better able to communicate with diverse cultures and to fulfill the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” |
