SLHS student named Educators Rising State President

A San Luis High School student has been named as Arizona’s President of Educators Rising for the 2018-2019 school year.

Adriana Carranza, an upcoming senior at SLHS, served as Vice President a year ago. A state officer’s duty while representing Arizona includes a variety of events like the National Leadership Conference.

“I am beyond thrilled to serve a second term in state office for Educators Rising Arizona!” Carranza said. “It is an incredible feeling to know that others from your state want you to represent them once more. With this, I want to thank first of all my dad, for supporting me through all of my goals, it means the world to me. Secondly, I want to thank my chapter and adviser Mr. [Tim] Morrison, for believing in me in the way that you all do. I am so glad to represent San Luis High School.”

Carranza said she wants to attend the University of Pittsburgh to earn a degree in secondary education.

“This is such exciting news,” Yuma Union High School District Superintendent Gina Thompson said. “Adrianna’s amazing accomplishment brings a great amount of pride to our community and school district.”

According to Educators Rising website, the national network helps develop aspiring teachers in the United States.
