Ms. Betancourt

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to a new school year!

My name is Carolina Betancourt Ruiz. I am from Colombia. I was born in Armenia, Quindio where you can find the best coffee =)

I graduated from the University of Quindio as Modern Languages Bachelor.

My passion in life is to share what I know and to learn from others; that is to say, I love teaching! This is my third year in USA and I am so glad to continue teaching Spanish at Cooper Academy. My passion in life is to share what I know and to learn from others; that is to say, I love teaching people from all ages! In addition, I love traveling around the world.

A Commitment to Solidarity, Peace, and Acceptance

Johnston County Public Schools is in the business of providing a holistic educational experience that affirms and prepares our students for successful lives by teaching not only academic disciplines but how to treat one another.
