Mrs. Liliana Vargas

Third Grade Dual Language Teacher

Hello! My name is Liliana Vargas. I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas.  I attended FWISD from elementary all the way to high school. I graduated Texas Tech University where I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Multidisciplinary Studies.

In my free time I enjoy reading, watching movies and spending time with my family.

I am super excited to be teaching at Sam Rosen Elementary. I strive to help all my students discover their full potential and instill in them the importance of academics as they will become our future leaders. I am excited to start a new school year and look forward to making many wonderful memories with my students. Go Eagles!

Mr. Paul Monreal

3rd Grade Teacher

Hello, I am Paul Michael Monreal a proud alumnus of North Side High School in FWISD! I have a deep connection to the community where I now serve as an educator. My college education started with an associate degree from Tarrant County College and earning a bachelor's degree from both Columbia College of Missouri and Northwood University.

Beyond the classroom, I cherish the time spent with my wife and our son. We enjoy activities like watching sports, discovering captivating movies, and sharing memorable moments at concerts.

For the past three years, I've been privileged to teach at FWISD, previously instructing 2nd and 5th graders. As a former student of FWISD myself, I understand the significance of a strong and supportive educational environment.

I am thrilled to be part of the faculty at Sam Rosen Elementary, where I can continue to contribute to the growth and development of the next generation.
