📣 Meet Our Staff!

My name is Mercedes Prado, and I have been a GED instructor in Spanish since 2010 at Leto Adult & Career Services (Hillsborough County Public Schools). I currently teach in person during the day, and I also teach online in the evenings.

Over the years, my students have consistently shown strong academic progress and successful GED completion. In 2023, I was honored with the “Teacher of Excellence” recognition, which reflects my commitment to adult education and to the success of our program.
