Mrs. Cora Padilla (Profe. Padilla) joins ST. Joseph Catholic School this year with seven years of experience teaching secondary Spanish in public schools, a B.A. in Spanish and a minor in Art from the University of Texas at Tyler, and a M.S. in Library Science from the University of North Texas.

She is very excited to begin her first year in Catholic education at her own parish community's school and looks forward to building the upper school Spanish program.

Profe. Padilla and her husband, Mario, have two young children who will also one day attend SJCS. She enjoys reading, sports events, and spending time with her friends and family.
