Remote Learning Update: We will continue to use schoology.com for our remote learning activities.  Messages will be sent through both Schoology and Remind. I will post assignments for the week on Monday, and you will generally have until Sunday to complete them.  There will be an assignment list with due dates on our Schoology page. We will also be using sites like turnitin, quizizz, padlet, and Google Docs. I’ve set up a Padlet page for each class (the link on our Schoology page), so you can post any general questions you have there. If you have any questions, please email me at maria.baca@adams12.org. 

Office Hours:

After graduating from the University of Denver in 1987 with a bachelor's degree in history and a minor in Spanish, I subbed for a year in the district. I was hired in 1988 to teach Spanish at the district's new Horizon High School and have been here ever since. I taught Spanish for several years, and then switched to Social Studies. Since then, I obtained a Masters in the Humanities from the California State University Dominguez Hills distance learning program. I have taught almost every Social Studies class, from Sociology to A.P. U.S. History and have been active in district level curriculum development. For the past several years I have taught 10th grade World History, 11th grade U.S. History and Topics in Philosophy. My online classroom is located on Schoology. The best way to contact me is through email, or you can call me at extension 4559.
