Hello, my name is Albert Contreras Jr. and students usually call me Mr. C. I am blessed to be with my lovely wife Sabra and our amazing fur babies (Kovee, Q-Tip, and Taco). I was born and raised in San Diego and have no plans of ever leaving. In my free time I love to play basketball, read, and cook. Before coming to HTHNC I worked for the Museum of Us, Adult Literacy for National City, and the History Department at San Diego State University.
My classroom is founded on student ideas and critical thinking. The ideal student to me is someone who works hard and trusts in the educational process. As your teacher I promise to create opportunities for learning and a platform to express your opinion. After our time together students will be able to think critically and deeply about the world around them. These are the hallmarks of an actively engaged citizen of the world.
