Srta. Heimpel and Sra. Costa were the best tag team Spanish teachers that any high school could ever have. Although no me gusta el subjuntivo. A very sad day. What a great teacher and person.

I am grateful to have been Senorita Heimpel's, "estudiante." She saw something in me that I didn't know I had at that time; an aptitude for the Spanish language. Already having been inspired by Mrs. Avitable with two years of Spanish at LMJH, I felt eager and prepared for Srta. Heimpel's class. Maria told me in my freshman year that I had a knack for languages and that I should take all four years of it at Helix. At her wise advice, I did just that! I met up with her again in my senior year, with 4th Year AP Spanish. With her encouragement, I passed the AP College Exam for Spanish and earned 3 semester college units in my senior year of high school! :) In the classroom, she brought in so much culture: music, movies, artifacts. I looked forward to school most days, but in particular, I loved attending Maria Heimpel's class. Her warmth and understanding of emotional high-schoolers was appreciated then and admired now. Thank you, Senorita Heimpel, for positively changing my Life forever! May you continue to soar to new heights...and I look forward to seeing you on the Other Side. Much Love, Caprice "Gloria", "Blanca" Meanor-Harrison. :)

As a former counselor and vice principal at Helix High School, I had many opportunities to interact with Maria in my office. We had wonderful laughs and serious conversations. I loved her friendship.

She was one of my favorite teachers at Helix High School. Her humor and passion for teaching made learning fun. I have fond memories of her and her Spanish Classes; I will treasure them always.
Vaya con Diós.

Our Social Justice Ministry was enriched with Maria's presence, her talents and her strive to always help the poorest of the poor in Mexico. Our friendship extended beyond our ministry to a very close friendship over the years. Maria will always hold a special place in our hearts and our world is a better place because of her. She made a difference! Anne & Mark Pacheco
