Hello, my name is Steve Lopez and I have been teaching at MRMS for 16 years, going on 17. However, I have been a teacher for 32 years. I have taught Math, Physical Education & Health here at MRMS. I will be teaching 8th grade Integrated Wellness this 2023-2024 year. I will be coaching the 8th grade Flag Football team, the 7th&8th grade Boys, 8th Grade Girls Basketball team, and anything else that may be available. I have been married for 32 years to my beautiful wife Heidi. We have 4 kids that are Mason, Maddie, Logan and Molly. Two of our kids married into our family but we love them as our own! AND, This past year we were blessed with a granddaughter, Maisie Jo. She is beautiful and perfect! We love our family of 7 very much!
If you are wondering about all of the "Lopes Up" & "Go Lopes" pictures on my web site, my nickname growing up was Lopes. My daughter attended Grand Canyon University, as a freshman and their mascot is the Antelope. They call themselves the 'Lopes'. I was beyond excited for my daughter to be attending a school with a cool name, and the name I was called growing up. So, #GoLopes, Lopes Up, Lopes Life is my way of saying from the heart...Lets get fired up, reach our fullest potential together and have some fun!
I love to: play basketball, work on puzzles, travel to other countries, play the drums, read- mostly inspirational books, coach, go on missions trips, exercise and love family. I love USC football, Azusa Pacific University Basketball and Anaheim Ducks Hockey.
I am anticipating this new year with great hope and excitement. This year we will be focusing on "embracing". We want students to "embrace" the learning, the exercising, the collaborating and the opportunity to have fun! I am thankful for a place like Muscle Ridge Middle School that allows us to be creative and use that creativity to challenge and push students to reach their fullest potential. This is going to be a great year!
Thank you for your support! Please let me know if you have any questions, thoughts or comments. I would love to hear from you.
Lopes up!
Mr. Lopez
