My name is Jose De La Cruz. My pronouns are he/him/his. I am a high school science teacher and department chair at Blackstone Valley Prep High School. I was born in Guatemala, and at the age of 4 I came to Rhode Island with my parents. I attended Classical High School, and when I graduated I went to the University of Rhode Island. I did two years at the University of Rhode Island, and then transferred to Rhode Island College to complete my Biology/Chemistry Bachelors of Science. After I graduated I went to Brown Medical School for a year and then my beautiful son was born during the COVID-19 Pandemic. I took a break from medical school, and decided to become an educator since I always have had a passion for teaching. I have been at Blackstone Valley Prep since 2019, and I will be completing my Masters of Education this summer 2023! Although I am not sure I will be staying in education forever, at the moment I am fully committed to my work and helping students achieve their dreams by being their champion that supports them in every way. My summer 2023 has just started, and so far it is going well. Outside of the classroom I like to explore the ocean in our state, either by boat or Jetski, and I also have a pool at home so in other words I am some sort of a born again fish :).
Here is a video of my dad on his Jetski it was a mission of mine to get him to buy one to ride together:
