Teacher and Coach Alex Tamargo always finds time to aid a struggling student, especially those who are highly prone to confusion.

Alex Tamargo has been praised as an excellent teacher and coach. Within two years here at MSSH Tamargo has accomplished much. Many know him as both a baseball coach and a loveable English teacher. Tamargo currently teaches 10th, 11th and 12th grade students at varying levels of intensity. This feat is not as easy as it sounds and would appear to be much more difficult than coaching a baseball team. Though seemingly put together, Tamargo finds balancing a team and enlightening students is sometimes difficult. He explains these anxieties especially with the thought of incorporating FCAT into his lessons. Not one to walk away from a challenge, Tamargo has managed to build a winning combination in both his English classes and the Golden Hawks baseball team. His enthusiasm for both endeavors is what makes students enjoy being in his classes and gives players the desire to win and play for him. “I am a very lucky person because I can honestly say that I look forward to coming to work even on Mondays to educate youngsters and develop baseball players,” said Tamargo. This attitude is behind his ability to encourage his students to work harder and his players to give their all for the team. Junior Stephanie Arzeno says, “He is funny. In class there hasn’t been a time that we haven’t laughed with him. He makes learning fun.” As for the baseball season this year he thinks that they are going to do great. He thinks that the team has matured and now has the experience needed to win every game possible. We would like to thank teacher and coach Tamargo for his contributions to the world of athletics and that of academics. May we be lucky enough to have his talents available to us for years to come.
