Across the Table https://ksbg.podbean.com Across the Table is a conversation about the people, stories, and experiences that shape who we are.

Hosted by San Benito Schools’ Social Media and Communications Specialist Maria Guajardo, Across the Table brings guests from different walks of life together for honest, meaningful conversations about careers, relationships, personal growth, resilience, education, and the lessons we learn along the way.

Each episode offers a chance to slow down, listen, and discover the person behind the title, profession, or achievement. From educators and community leaders to students and inspiring individuals, our guests share the experiences that shaped them, the lessons they carry with them, and the wisdom they hope to pass on.

Because sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen when we simply sit down, pull up a chair, and talk.

In this episode, he shares his journey from an introverted, anxious student to a leader who treats communication like an instrument — and the teachers who believed in him when the world said, "nothing good comes from San Benito." We discuss the strategic growth of the district's fine arts programs, the power of the "hidden curriculum," and his driving motto: "Yes, we can and we will."

This week, across the table, we welcome Ms. Roxanne Hurtado, a middle school reading teacher whose life and work are inseparable. A lifelong reader turned educator, she shares how a journalism degree, a father's quiet nudge, and a refusal to give up on a single student shaped a 12-year teaching career built on relationships, resilience, and authenticity.

It's a conversation about the long game — the patience it takes to plant seeds you may not see bloom for years, the humility students teach you when you least expect it, and the quiet power of showing up for people who aren't ready for you yet. Plus, her father's enduring advice: “En cada cabeza es un mundo” — in every head, there is a world.
