I am a 9th grade grade Spanish for Spanish Speaker teacher. Memorial Jr. High is located in the middle of Barrio Logan community. The historic Chicano Park is located a few blocks from our school. There is a lot of history surrounding this community. I am also the coordinator of the Triton Project at Memorial.
