School Highlights
Part-Time Teacher, Part-Time Principal
As Bonita implements bilingual core classes, Dr. Del Rosario and Ms. Soto are working together this year to Co-Teach a Bilingual Accelerated Biology course. "I was so thrilled to join Bonita last year and I feel honored that this year Dr. Del Rosario and I will be working on this amazing new class! Talk about a principal that is 'putting students first,' right?" said Ms. Soto. In addition to his role as principal, Dr. Del Rosario has stepped into the classroom to ensure the success of all students in these bilingual classes.
A World in a Bottle - International Baccalaureate (IB)
