Introducing Our New Communications Specialist: Freddy Ochoa Hernandez

"Hi Stallion families! My name is Freddy Ochoa Hernandez and I am the new Communications Specialist for Swansea Elementary. I am super excited to be supporting your community! I am still newer to DPS but have had extensive experience in communications and education. As a native Spanish speaker, I know both the struggle and privilege it is to grow up in a community speaking two languages and I am excited to bring that experience into Swansea. If you see me in the building or are in the office, please feel free to stop by and say hi! I look forward to your collaboration and am so excited for my journey here at Swansea!"
