STAFF SPOTLIGHT Grant (Profe) Castillo 10th Grade Spanish  Why did you choose to work in education? I am working in education to expose students to a world language in hope they continue the life-long skill of learning Spanish. What are your hopes for this school year? I hope my students recognize the benefits of learning a language such as Spanish. In addition, I hope my students take their learning in the classroom and apply it to the real-world. What do you love most about HTH? I love being a part of a school culture centered around the students. Tell us about a memory you have from high school? My best memories from high school came from my Spanish classes. One of the many reasons why I became a Spanish teacher. What do you like to do outside of school? I enjoy surfing and spending time with friends and family. What kind of music do you like? Who is your favorite artist? If you are one of my students, ya sabes! Música Latina y Reggaeton.
