Marcella Martinez

I am a product of the Chicago Public Schools.  After attending Seward Academy, I went to Bogan High School.  I then attended St. Xavier University and became a teacher.  Since I was teaching bilingual students, I went back to school to pursue a Masters in Bilingual Education at Chicago State University.   Since education never ends, I decided to continue and went back again to Concordia University to get another Master’s in Leadership.  Who am I?  You guessed correctly!  Mrs. Martinez!!!

I am a former Seward student.  Mrs. Martinez, Ms. Madden, Mrs. Howe, Ms. Bowsky and Mrs. Cadenas were all my teachers.  I graduated in 2004 and then went to Whitney M. Young Magnet High School.  I decided that I wanted to become a teacher.  The school that I found to have the best program for me was the University Of Illinois At Chicago.  I graduated in 2012 with a degree in elementary education.  I am currently pursuing a master’s Degree in Instructional Leadership at UIC.  My name is Ms. Jimenez.
