Ms. Tina Barajas

Hello! I am excited about starting my 2nd year teaching here at Cole and my 31st year teaching art.

Before teaching here at Cole, I taught Art in North East ISD for 29 years.

I was born and raised here in San Antonio in a family of six kids.

I am a graduate of Trinity University where I received both my Bachelor of Arts and my Master of Arts in Teaching.

I am the mother of a basketball loving, 14-year-old incoming high school freshman. I spend most of my free time taking my son to and from practices, attending basketball games, listening to music, tending to my plants, and doing mundane tasks around my house.

An interesting fact about me is that I played volleyball and soccer for Trinity University, which is a D1 school. Another interesting fact about me is that I backpacked through many of the countries in Europe.

Last year was a wonderful first year here at Cole for me. The students created lots of amazing artworks and I'm super excited to see what they will create this year.

Please check out the slide show below to see some of the incredible artworks created by our awesome students this past year.
