My name is Rosa Maria Solorzano, and I have been the school counselor at Myrtle Cooper for 2 years. I am originally from Mexico City, and I graduated from UTEP with a degree in General/Bilingual Education with a minor in ESL Education and an all level Spanish certification. I worked as a teacher for 10 years until I graduated from Sul Ross State University with a Master's Degree in Counseling. I love working with the students, families, and staff at Myrtle Cooper Elementary and I believe I have the BEST job ever! Please free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Here's to an incredible 2012-2013 school year!
