Nancy Esquivel
Kindergarten teacher at Fields ES
“I choose Northside because I feel like it's a great place to be. I’ve been here 20 years and I feel that I’ve learned so much through not only professional development but through my colleagues and having great leaders. I feel like they always strive to be the best, to keep improving, to keep getting better. And I feel like that’s what makes this a great place to work.”
Steven Zepeda

“It’s a very rewarding job. Safety always comes first and it is very rewarding when you pull to the students’ stop, and watch them head home safe and sound. You know you’ve done your job.”
Robert Wheeler
Substitute Teacher
“I want to make a difference in somebody’s life. Young people today, you hear about all the negative about them. But I’ve run across some great young people from high school to middle school. It’s a rewarding career. If I had my way, I’d probably stay here forever.”
Arnulfo Talamantes
