Christopher Rogers is a 2016 graduate of Schenectady High School and currently a teacher at Mont Pleasant. He was inspired to pursue a career in teaching because of the positive relationships he built in Schenectady schools. "There were so many teachers who inspired me, but Señora Weinman and Señora Higgins were the most influential, said Chris. "They are the reason I fell in love with the Spanish language and culture. They were and still are one of my biggest cheerleaders. Their passion and kindness have made a major impact on me."
