Hello! My name is Danny Perez! I am a 7th and 8th grade English teacher in Huntington Park. I was born and raised in Huntington Park, and I know all about the struggles in education in Huntington Park first hand. This is one of the primary reasons why I wanted to be a teacher. I want to give back to the city that I hold dear to my heart, and give the youth in HP some hope for better education. I had some amazing teachers when I was in school, and I want to be that for the youth today. Overall, the few teachers that really gave it their all to provide a good education couldn't do much about helping the over crowded classrooms, and some of us fell through the cracks. I wasn't prepared for college or life outside of HP, but this is where I want to make a difference.
Outside of the classroom I love to read, write, spend time with my wife, friends, family, and pets. These three years I've been teaching have been extremely rewarding, and I value all the time in the classroom. But these activities outside of the classroom are some of my favorite times to unwind and keep the connections going. I'm a huge Lakers fan, so if you're into the Lakers, there will be lots for us to talk about! I look forward to seeing everyone in class!
