Hello! My name is Stephanie Ochoa and I teach ASL 1 thru 4 at TMHS. I am a mother of four of various ages, including college aged. I have my Associates in Applied Science: Interpreting for the Deaf from Del Mar. I received my Bachelor's Degree in English from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi. I earned my Master's Degree in Curriculum Design and Implementation from Grand Canyon University.  I am slowly working toward my Doctorate. 

I have been many other things in my life, such as an Army medic, body guard, and an interpreter for the Deaf, but one of my favorite has been teaching.  In my teaching career I have taught many different grades and all the core classes, except P.E. I am now not only teaching ASL at TMHS but  I also teach Adult Literacy and GED Prep after school.  I am an active memeber of the National American Sign Language Honor Socitey.

I am certified to teach in the following areas:
American Sign Language EC-12
Generalist EC-6
English Language Arts and Reading 7-12
English as a Second Language  EC-12
Gifted and Talented  Ec-12  
COMING SOON: ASVAB

I also host Rex Games, which is a gaming club that students can come to and play a variety of games.  Some included are: D&D, video games (please bring your own console), board games, and card games. All activites are monitored and games must be age and school appropriate. 

I am sponsor to the Guitar Club, where students are taught to play stringed instruments and have a chance to hang out with others of musical intent.

I am sponsor to the ASL Club, where student can go to get more signing interactions.  

I hope to make a lifetime of teaching and hope to keep my teaching career here at TM.  

Thank you and have a great school year!
