Retiring Señora Dominguez shares memories and future plans

Miriam Dominguez, also known as Señora Dominguez, has worked in Castro Valley for many years and is now on the road to retirement. As she closes out her year she reflected on her fondest memories with CVHS. 

“The best part of being an educator at CVHS is feeling the joy of working in the classroom with talented and caring students. I also appreciate having always worked with dedicated and hardworking professionals.” 

Dominguez’s other favorite experiences on campus include school-wide activities that empower the student body, “Some of my favorite memories have been seeing my students’ amazing skills outside of the classroom. I have really liked the activities organized by the leadership class such as Homecoming week and dress up days. As well as seeing the many performances from poetry, drama, choir to sports competitions. I can’t forget the amazing support shown in sending off our students to the Special Olympics.”

After her final year teaching at CVHS Dominguez plans to explore the world in many senses: “I have a multitude of activities on my wish list for after I retire from CVHS. Some of them will be time spent enjoying the wonders of nature…. kayaking, paddle boarding and hiking come to mind. I will strive to learn about other cultures. I plan to visit relatives and friends around the world. I definitely look forward to doing volunteer work.”

Dominguez bids a warm adios to CVHS with one more piece of advice stating “Cultivate a positive attitude and resilience for handling challenges in life. Remember: si se puede!”
