Juan Carlos Cordero

Juan Carlos was an amazing and inspirational man. I was lucky to know him as a colleague and friend for many years. I offer my deepest simpathies, prayers and condolences to his family. JC will be genuinely missed.

Thanks for being a good friend, coworker, and positive supervisor. I am very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with you.

Señor was one of my teachers for the past two years, and he made a huge impact on me - especially during my 6th-grade year. That year was full of change, but his class always felt calm and welcoming. He was kind, understanding, and made accommodations when I struggled, even switching me to pass/fail to take off the pressure.

In 7th grade, it was comforting to know he was still there. I used to go into his classroom and trace funny drawings of him on the board with my friends - and he always laughed with us.

It doesn´t feel real that he won´t be there next year - or in the years to come. He welcomed every student with open arms and found ways to make learning fun, whether it was with Kahoots or Blookets on days we all needed a break.

I´ll never forget him - sitting at his desk with his cup of coffee, cheering us on from the sidelines.

I´ll miss you, Señor, more than I can say.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Rest in peace, Mr. Cordero. Your impact as a teacher was truly remarkable, and I will always hold dear the wonderful memories created at Good Counsel, largely thanks to your inspiring class. Thank you for making a difference in the lives of so many students.

Señor Cordero was a truly a wonderful man and I had the privilege of being one of his students in high school. He remains one of the most profound and notable educators I had. All my love to his family and may he rest in peace. Gracias Señor Cordero

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Cordero´s passing. He is the type of educator that makes an impact. I graduated high school 17 years ago and Mr. Cordero is still one of the teachers I can remember. He helped me appreciate my native language,Spanish, and made learning fun. He will be remembered for his down to earth attitude, and how relatable he was with students. Gracias Señor Cordero por inspirar el idioma. Que descanse en paz.
