Staff Spotlight: Mr. Miramontes

April 7, 2021
New Staff Member!
Hey Mustangs, let’s welcome our new staff member, Mr. Miramontes! This is his first year teaching at MHHS as an Adulting 101 teacher. I had a pleasant time interviewing him, and I hope you like his answers as much as I did!
What are your interests and/or hobbies?
“I love sports! I love playing golf on my days off.
And I also love hiking.”
How has it been working at MHHS so far?
“It has been good so far. Just a little weird with
the distance learning and teaching a new course
outside of my credential. (Adulting 101)”
What’s the best advice you’ve been given?
“The best advice I have gotten is to know when to
be away from work and have my own time. I struggled
with checking my email way too much even after work hours.”
What led you into doing your job, and how
did you work for it?
“I chose the path of PE teaching because I have a
few PE teachers in my family. It always seemed like
such a fun job. My program at CSU Stanislaus really
drove home the fact that I wanted to do PE. I learned
a lot from that program.”
Who is your inspiration?
“My inspiration is my parents. They have worked
hard their whole lives. Both without college, doing
it the old school way of working hard and working
their way up over time. They were the reason I
wanted to go to and complete college. Their work
ethic is what inspired me.”
What are some things you like about MHHS?
“I like the collaboration between teachers, especially the
PE/Health department. I got hired on pretty late and if it
wasn’t for all the help and collaboration, it really would
have been a tough year.”
