Hello! I am Mrs. Mariana, or Señora Díaz de León, I've been in education since 2012, and taught all levels of Spanish. At Johnson I will be teaching, Spanish Literature, Spanish Native 3 Pre-AP, Spanish Native 2 Pre-AP, and Spanish 2. I grew up in Mexico, moved to El Paso at 15, then to San Antonio in 2010, and lived in Spain in Spring 2012 before I came back to the Alamo City to start my teaching career. I am a sports person, however, I do love to attend choir, orchestra, dance, theater and other fine arts events. I've been maried since October 2014, and have 2 beautiful children, Emma and Oscar. I am very passionate about education, and I believe that the core of it starts at home; I believe in encouraging and helping our kids to become the best versions of themselves, by enriching values such as integrity, honesty, loyalty, and courage.
