Hello!

My name is Valerie Gonzalez, and I am beyond excited to be continuing my career with HHS!

I began my career in education as a substitute at Mance Park, took a position as an instructional assistant in Conroe ISD, and then returned to Mance Park as a Writing teacher, and then moved up to HHS as an English teacher. While this is my 3rd year in the classroom, this will be my 5th in education. 

I am a second generation Huntsville High School graduate, and I was lucky enough to walk the same stage as my parents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and brother. It gives me great pride to be able to teach in the same halls I walked as a student and give back to the community that helped mold me into the person I am today.

My college career began my Junior year of HS with Dual Credit classes through Lone Star. Because of these classes, I was able to graduate with a year of college done. I then went to Sam Houston to obtain my Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology. I am currently pursuing my Masters of Education online while working, and I will be graduating in December from SHSU (again)! I enjoy being able to share my journey with a students and show them that the possibilities at hand are endless as long as they are willing to put in the work. 

I am certified to teach 4-8 Core Subjects, 7-12 ELA, and K-12 English Second Language Learners.
