Spanish Teacher Named ‘Outstanding Educator’

Upper School faculty member Adriana Alcina Gomez was the recipient of the University of Chicago’s Outstanding Educator Award in 2020. This distinguished award has existed for more than three decades. 

Students accepted into the University of Chicago's Class of 2024 were asked to nominate an educator whose guidance helped them along the path toward intellectual growth. Responses were received from thousands of students in recognition of educators who have positively influenced their lives. Hamden Hall alumnus Jihui “Todd” Tan 2020 nominated Ms. Alcina Gomez, his former Spanish teacher.

“As a world language educator it is my greatest joy to know that I’ve made an impact on my student’s interest in languages, and I am thrilled to be part of a school community that nurtures an excellent learning environment for our students,” said Ms. Alcina Gomez.

According to the university’s website, “Outstanding educators go beyond everyday teaching and leave an impression that is carried over a lifetime.”
