At Churchill County High School (CCHS), Spanish teachers Lance and Laurianne Lattin have become well-known for their relatable approach to teaching. Their passion for the Spanish language and culture is clearly seen in their classroom, where students feel excited to learn and supported in their efforts. The Lattins co-teach their Spanish classes, bringing perspective and an engaging environment to language learning. “We’ve always shared a love for the Spanish language and culture,” says Mr. Lattin. “When the opportunity came to work together, it felt like a natural extension of our lives.” 

What makes the Lattins' classroom special is how they connect with each student. Mr. Lattin uses creative lessons that include music, art, and technology to make learning Spanish fun and exciting. “Learning a language should be fun,” he says. “We try to create an atmosphere where students can explore and express themselves.” Meanwhile, Mrs. Lattin focuses on creating a caring classroom where students feel safe to take risks and learn from their mistakes, something that’s particularly important when learning a new language. 

Students are often seen smiling in the classroom. The Lattins’ fun and interactive lessons and group activities make students eager to participate and learn every day.

The Lattins' impact goes beyond their classroom. They also organize cultural events, language immersion trips, and after-school programs to help students better appreciate Spanish-speaking cultures. Many students say that the Lattins have inspired them to continue studying Spanish or even consider careers that involve the language. The Lattins’ kindness and patience have built strong relationships with their students, who feel comfortable asking them for help and advice. 

“They’re more than just teachers. They’re mentors and role models,” says William Urso, a sophomore at CCHS. “They’ve helped me realize that learning a language is about more than just words; it’s about understanding and connecting with people.” 

In a time when education faces many challenges, the Lattins show what’s possible when teachers are truly dedicated to their work. Their love for teaching, their students, and each other makes CCHS a welcoming and positive place for everyone.
