¡Hola!  My name is Linda Jones.  I have been teaching at HPMS since 2001.  I love to work with children and have a passion for the Spanish language and world cultures.  I have lived and worked in Guatemala, Peru and Spain.  I attended Northern Arizona University for my degree in Spanish education and music and attended University of North Carolina for my master’s degree in conflict resolution.

I work at HPMS as a Spanish teacher in the non-Immersion classes and am also a coordinator for the International Baccalaureate Middle Year’s Program (IB-MYP).  I can be reached via e-mail at linda.jones@spps.org or by phone at 651-293-8950 with any questions regarding the IB-MYP and the World Language classes.

FYI-  The picture here is of me and my mother hiking the Camino de Santiago in Spain.  A wonderful experience thanks to my having learned Spanish.
