Jose Tañada

Ochoa Middle School

7th & 8th Grade


"Being a teacher has been my only so-called real job, and I've only known Anthony W. Ochoa Middle School. From sprained ankles and falls in competing with the kids on the blacktop, to the sweat of twenty-four Indian summers in the same air-condition-less room and from the tears of communal viewings of beloved films with my students, my blood, sweat and tears, I've left it at Ochoa.


Teaching young people the importance of reading and the power of writing never stops filling my cup. I am deeply honored to be considered Teacher of the Year, but I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the Puente Project, my Puente counselor, the camaraderie of the Ochoa staff and the years of friendship cultivated there and the spirit of Anthony Ochoa. Thank you for believing in me."


Congratulations to Mr. Tañada! The recognition is well deserved!

The way you highlighted the dedication and impact of educators was very clear and helpful. I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog, and it offered an interesting perspective as well. It also reminded me of how small thoughtful gestures—like gifts from places such as https://www.gourmetgiftbasketstore.com/ —can really make someone feel appreciated."

I particularly appreciated how you highlighted the dedication and impact of educators on student success. The way you explained the process was very clear and helpful. I recently came across a similar discussion on a review blog, and it offered an interesting perspective as well, especially on how community support, much like how services such as https://www.goprogaragedoorrepair.com/ assist their clients with practical solutions, can make a difference in everyday challenges.

The world of babylon was known for passion, mystery, and sensuality. Today, it symbolizes indulgence and temptation. Let your imagination wander to a time where pleasure was art, and every desire found a divine expression.
