Judith Mendoza Jimenez

Judith Mendoza-Jimenez's journey to success began when she entered American schools at the age of 10, after immigrating from Mexico. As a first-generation college student, she navigated higher education, earning advanced degrees from the University of Arizona and Northern Arizona University, while also balancing the challenges of serving as a bilingual special education teacher, assistant principal and principal at the high school level. These formative experiences have profoundly shaped her dedication to supporting diverse learners in her current role as Director of Student Services for the Nogales Unified School District.
