Chris Burr, Department Chair
I have been teaching at MHS since 2006, also serving as Department Chair and Hiking Club Advisor for many years. I enjoy helping students to connect meaningfully with others through culturally effective communication. In addition to Spanish language, literature and culture, my interests include travel, cuisine, history, anthropology, ecology, and community health.
Fatima Ridoloso, Department Chair
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.
