With Twenty two years of experience as a science teacher, Isabel DeLaRosa has made it her mission to empower students to think critically and scientifically about the world around them. A proud product of NYC public schools, Isabel knows firsthand how important a great education is—and she’s dedicated to providing that for her students every day.
Beyond the classroom, Isabel is the Director of the Latin Groove, where she helps students connect with and celebrate their Latino culture through the art of dance. As an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, she’s grateful for the opportunity to share her roots while inspiring the next generation to embrace their own.
Isabel is also a proud mother of two daughters. Her oldest child is graduating in May 2025 from the SUNY Upstate Medical School, and the other is a freshman at Binghamton University.
For Isabel, HSFI is more than just a school—it’s a second family.
Thank you, Ms. Del La Rosa, for all your efforts in helping the children of NYC flourish!
