For this week’s Teacher Tuesday, we are excited to highlight Brader Jimenez, our high school English teacher.

This is Mr. Jimenez’ first year of teaching and teaches ESOL. Mr. Jimenez stated that his favorite thing about teaching at Newcomer Center is “teaching kids from all over the world. I learn from them as much as they learn from me. It is a humbling experience.” Mr. Jimenez was a newcomer himself. Because of this, he feels that he can relate to our Newcomer Center students.

In his free time, Mr. Jimenez’ favorite things to do is go to ball games and to spend time with his family and friends. Mr. Jimenez is also known to invite students to his classroom during their free time to practice their English.

Thank you Mr. Jimenez for the dedication you show to not only our students but our school as well! Newcomer is honored to have you! ... See MoreSee Less

Little late posting...for this week's Teacher Tuesday Spotlight, we are featuring our junior high science teacher, Duke Lam.

This is Mr. Lam’s eleventh year of teaching here at Newcomer. What Mr. Lam enjoys most about teaching, is the fun and loving students who bring worldly perspectives and are always enthusiastic to share their values, cultures, and jubilance that's celebrated by their respective ways of life. When Mr. Lam was asked what led him to become a teacher, he stated that he just fell into it and fit right into the slot of being a Newcomer Center teacher.

Some aspects of his life that make Mr. Lam incredibly excited is his wife Vicky and their two sons, Connor and Benjamin. Mr. Lam shared that his boys definitely make his day-to-day life filled with many activities. Mr. Lam enjoys learning about new places and people. He also enjoys nature hikes, home projects, and sports of all variety; anything that keeps his body or mind active.

Mr. Lam would like to leave you with one last thing; “Life isn't always easy. Look for every moment to smile, open all doors and explore every opportunity, laugh with your friends and families - don't hold back!”

Thank you for all you do to support our Newcomer students, Mr. Lam! ... See MoreSee Less
