Mrs. Rodriguez
Hello! My name is Beth Rodriguez, and I am the 3-6 grade Gifted Teacher at Sunset Ridge. This will be my 30th year teaching elementary school, but my FIRST as a SAGE/Gifted teacher! In my 30 years, I have taught every grade K-5, but most of my career has been in 3rd and 4th grades.
I was born and raised in East Central Illinois, where I come from a family of educators. My Mom was an elementary PE teacher her entire career, my Dad was a high school administrator before moving to university level administration, and even my GREAT grandfather was a teacher, principal, and superintendent of his rural community school.
I have been married to my husband, Eddie, for 26 years. He is a high school counselor in DVUSD. We have a son, Eric, who is a senior at the University of Arizona (BEAR DOWN!) majoring in Sports Management and Marketing. We love sports, especially basketball! We also enjoy swimming, playing games, country music concerts, and attending -- you guessed it -- sporting events around the Valley.
Looking forward to a great year!
