This is my tenth year of teaching Spanish at Manteca High School as well as being the Hispanic Youth Leadership Council Advisor. I have a bachelor's degree in Spanish from Stanislaus State University and a master's degree in Spanish from Idaho State University. My focus is on creating a positive learning environment for all students.

Hello! I've been teaching for 9 years, but this is my 8th year working at MHS. I teach Spanish 1 and 2, and sometimes Spanish for Spanish Speakers 1. I look forward to helping our students learn some español!
Scott McHenry
This is my 26th year of teaching here Manteca Unified. I taught for 5 years at a private high school in Hayward before coming to Manteca where I taught Spanish 1-5 (AP) at East Union before the pandemic hit. I then taught online for a few years before there was an opening for a Spanish teacher here at Manteca High and I took it. I have been advisor for a few clubs as well as Dept. Chair and Teacher Mentor but my whole focus is in the classroom and the students.

In 1996 I started teaching French at MHS and never looked back! I had worked for 12 years at a finance company, working my way up to manager from cashier. I teach primarily French but in years past I was called upon to teach Spanish 1 as well.
