Michelle Barrientos
Hello, Hexter Hawks! My name is Michelle Barrientos. I am so excited to be joining this wonderful school as a first grade teacher. I have 14 years of experience and have taught kindergarten, first, and second grades. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies with a specialization in Early Childhood Education from the University of Texas at San Antonio. I earned my Master’s Degree in Advanced Literacy from Concordia University in Austin. I am a certified Reading Specialist and love working with students of all ages and various levels. I have been in Dallas for a little over three years and love calling East Dallas home.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have been married to my husband, Seth, for 5 years and we just welcomed our sweet baby boy in March. We have two super cute, crazy dogs that keep us busy too. I also love hiking, going to concerts, and working out.
I am looking forward to a wonderful year and can’t wait to meet my fabulous first graders!
