Sylvia Bazan
Spanish Teacher: First-Seventh Grade
Appointed in 2000
I love SGES for its values and sprituality—its unique love for God, integrity, and service to others, as well as its exceptional academic preparation.
My three children are my love and reason for life. Brandon, 16, is currently in eleventh grade at Clark High School. Bryan, ten, is in third grade at Locke Hill Elementary School. Sofy, four, is in Jr. Kindergarten at St. George Episcopal School. In my free time, I love to paint, cook, and play guitar with my children. I love to travel to Mexico.
I bring to the Saint George community, my work pride for the Spanish language, its culture, and the tradition from the Hispanic society to the Saint George community.
