Bertha Benavides

Bertha leads Willard as if it were her family—with a warm heart, collaborative spirit, and high expectations for every young person. She motivates an amazing team of teachers and staff to show up daily for their students. Her commitment extends beyond the school day, providing opportunities for unforgettable arts and cultural experiences that students might not otherwise access. She ensures that students have opportunities to learn about their own cultura and appreciate other heritages as well. Grateful for her leadership!
