Caterina Gonzalez
Director, Coppell Campus

Caterina is originally from Valencia, Venezuela, home to Angel Falls, the tallest waterfall in the world, and the stunning beaches of Morrocoy. She moved to the United States in 1998 to study English and quickly fell in love with the culture, diversity, and opportunities this country had to offer.

Caterina went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a concentration in Finance and a Bachelor of Arts in Multidisciplinary Studies with a Latin America concentration from North Carolina State University, graduating Summa Cum Laude as an Alexander Hamilton Scholar.

Her passion for immersion education is deeply personal: learning English opened a world of opportunities for her and shaped her belief that bilingual education gives children a powerful advantage both academically and personally. Caterina began her career in education in 2007 as a bilingual Kindergarten teacher with Dallas ISD, returning to the classroom in 2021 as a Kindergarten English Teacher at Spanish Schoolhouse before stepping into her current role as Director.

Caterina has been a part of the Spanish Schoolhouse community since 2011 - first as a parent and volunteer, and eventually as a member of the team. As Director, her goal is for every child and family to feel welcomed, valued, and excited to be part of the school community, while helping teachers feel supported and inspired in their classrooms.
