My name is Santos Cruz Rodriguez. I am one of the Spanish teachers at Ronald Thornton Middle School.  This year I will teach Spanish 1A and Spanish 1B.  I feel privileged to be able to share the Spanish language and culture with my students.

I graduated from California State University Dominguez Hills with a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies. This will be my tenth year at Fort Bend ISD, and my first year at Ronald Thornton MS.

I have been married for 27 years, have two sons and a ten-year-old dog.

Although the language learning process varies from person to person, we all have the predisposition to speak more than one language.  I believe that taking risks and communicating is one of the most effective ways to acquire a second language.

I look forward to a wonderful year!
