Hello! I’m Mrs. Orta. I am now teaching Psychology and thrive in teaching AP Psychology. Teaching is my passion and I hope to share that passion with you in my classroom.

My husband works for the United States Army and I have two rambunctious, amazing little boys. I lived in Texas for 8 years before my Army husband was transferred to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Next was Indianapolis, Indiana and then in 2018, we landed in Honolulu, Hawaii. Hunstville, Alabama is our last stop!

In my class, you will learn the importance of mental processes and their impact on human behavior. Diversity will be embraced and celebrated. Welcome to an interactive class!
