Welcome!

Hello and welcome to our class! My name is Ms. Lang, and I am excited to be part of your educational journey at Sierra Vista Middle School.

Teaching has always been my passion. I come from a family of educators who inspired my love of learning and service. My mother taught elementary school students for many years in East Los Angeles and North Hollywood. My uncle served as a high school principal before becoming a university professor and administrator. My grandmother, who lived to be 104 years old, began her teaching career in a one-room schoolhouse in South Dakota, receiving just $50 in her first paycheck. Their dedication to education helped shape my dream of becoming a teacher.

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in English from Saint Mary's College of California. I was honored to receive the LaSallian Educators Fellowship, which supported my pursuit of a Secondary English Teaching Credential. I continued my passion for learning by earning two Master's Degrees from Concordia University Irvine in Educational Technology and Curriculum & Instruction. 

I began my teaching career at Baldwin Park High School, where I taught Sophomore and Senior English. Since joining Sierra Vista Middle School, I have had the privilege of teaching 7th Grade ELA, 8th Grade ELA, Honors ELA, ELD, and ASB/Leadership. I enjoy incorporating innovative technology, digital tools, and engaging learning experiences into the classroom to support creativity, collaboration, and student achievement.

This year, I am excited to teach 8th Grade ELA, Honors ELA, and ASB Leadership. My goal is to help students become confident readers, writers, thinkers, and leaders while preparing them for success in high school and beyond.

At Sierra Vista, we believe in The Matador Way:

❤️ Be Respectful
⭐ Be Responsible
🛡️ Be Safe

Together, we will work hard, support one another, celebrate growth, and create a positive learning environment where all students can succeed.

I look forward to an outstanding year of learning, leadership, and achievement with our Matador family!

Go Matadors! ❤️🖤🤍
