ALBERT Ferrarons, known as Señor Ferrarons, has left an indelible mark on the Granger High School community. With over 11 years of teaching experience, his passionate approach to Spanish has inspired countless Lancers since their early academic years. 

At Granger High School, students fondly recall Señor Ferrarons’ energetic classes, which were characterized by creativity and a deep commitment to student success. His innovative teaching methods, such as the engaging Euros system and end-of-year raffles, made learning Spanish both fun and memorable.​

Nancy Miller is a close friend of Señor Ferrarons. “I’ve known him for 11 years already, we became friends because we both worked together at Valley Crest Elementary, West Lake Junior High, and also here at Granger,” Miller said. She says she thinks very highly of Ferrarons; they truly have a strong friendship. “I think everyone should know he was a very picky eater, it was so hard to go eat anywhere with him because of that,” Miller said. Many Lancers who are about to graduate still think about Ferrarons. 

Natalie Pereira (12) says she had profound respect for Señor Ferrarons, noting his unique ability to transform a language class into a source of inspiration, “When I think of el Profe Ferrarons, I feel a lot of respect towards him. I’ve had many Spanish teachers in my time in the dual immersion program, but he truly made it become more than just another language class,” Pereira said. 

As most Lancers are aware, Ferrarons sadly could not keep teaching due to his sickness and that devastated many Lancers, but it did not stop Ferrarons from still caring about his students. “When he first got sick, we all respected his privacy and would continue doing what he expected. And yet, he still checked in with us when he could, showed us how much he cared even if he couldn’t be there in person,” Pereira said. Many Lancers loved how Ferrarons was with them. 

Oscar Campos (10) says he appreciated Señor Ferrarons’ engaging teaching style. “Señor Ferrarons was passionate about his job. No matter the student, he always did his best to reason and teach every student according to their needs. The most fun part of his teaching was the Euros system and the rifas and the end-of-year bidding thing he had,” Campos said. “I think everyone would agree that Sr. Ferrarons is a fighter and a passionate man because he overcame the toughest of situations and still cared for us when he was going through those times. Yes, I always think about him, and I hope to have him as a teacher again someday,” Campos said.​

Miley Muñoz (10) says she remembered him as a kind and humorous teacher who brought variety and excitement to each lesson, “What I liked about him was he was super nice and funny. I had him as a teacher in 7th grade and 9th grades. His best quality was he always made teaching fun, what made his teaching fun was he had us do something new every day, and it wasn’t the same thing. He made us learn in different ways, something I think everyone could agree on is that he was one of the best Spanish teachers,” Muñoz said.​

Señor Ferrarons’ dedication to teaching and his students has made a strong impact on the Granger High community. His role as a mentor, teacher, and friend continues to inspire Lancers to work hard and stay positive. Even when he got sick, he still made time to check on his students and show that he cared. He always made sure students knew their efforts mattered, no matter how small. Many miss the way he made classes feel welcoming and how he could brighten someone’s day with a simple greeting. Even when things were hard for him, he stayed strong and kept caring about others. He showed what it means to be a good person and teacher, and that example still motivates students today.
