Principal's Message

On behalf of our faculty and staff, I would like to welcome you to Matilda Torres High School – Home of the Toros! It is our school mission to help all students learn at high levels and ensure that every student is both college and career ready. As the newest high school in Madera Unified, we are excited to create traditions that leave a positive imprint on all our students’ hearts, heads, and hands. Our opening staff is comprised of amazing educators and support personnel that genuinely love kids and are excited to build a school culture that honors our school site’s namesake (Matilda Torres) and strives to be a campus that students look forward to attending each day.

As the Principal of Torres High School, my own educational experiences in Madera Unified started nearly two decades ago. During this time, I have enthusiastically served as a teacher, Activies Director, an elementary and middle school vice principal, and as principal at 3 different schools. While I have had amazing experiences at all of my former school sites, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be part of the Toro family. The Madera community is incredible, and I look forward to serving it in this new role.

As a wife and mother of 3, I know firsthand that no one child is the same and all are in need of love and continued support. As such, please know that I am committed to continuing to work with our students, their families and our community to develop relationships and traditions that will last a lifetime. We hope that you will find our website a valuable source of information for your student and family.

On behalf of the entire staff, I am delighted to welcome you to “TORO NATION” and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Fondly,
Mrs. Rodriquez-Menke
