Laura Castro
Special Education Teacher
Sunridge Middle School

Laura grew up in Delta, Utah, a small town that gave her a strong sense of community. She is new to Pendleton and is looking forward to becoming part of the community.

She completed her undergraduate education at the University of Nevada, Reno, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in General Education and Special Education. She also has an associate’s degree in General Education from Olympic College in Shelton, Washington.

What is Laura most excited about working in the Pendleton School District? “I’m most excited about making a meaningful impact on students’ academic growth in English Language Arts while working alongside the supportive staff at Pendleton School District.”

In her free time, she enjoys staying active by taking walks and riding her bicycle; she likes to unwind by drawing and reading books.
