Meet Your Educator: Maricela Aguilar Monroy

Miss Aguilar was born in Mexico but brought to the U.S. when she was 3 years old. She is an ESL teacher at Pulaski and Hamilton for the 2020-2021 school year. She attended Longfellow Elementary, Walker Middle School and Hamilton High School, all in MPS. She then attended Marquette University and became the first person in her family to go to college. She is a teacher now because she wants to make sure young people today get to be happy in a career or trade of their choice, just like she did.
