Mansfeld Magnet Middle School

Ochor Odol has been part of the Mansfeld community for five years, working as a custodian. His favorite part of the job? Spending time with the kids, especially playing basketball with them. Ochor also enjoys helping out with the cross-country team, running alongside the students and supporting them during training. 

Originally from South Sudan, Ochor has lived in the United States since 2005. Outside of work, he stays active by playing basketball and participating in a soccer club. His positive attitude and love for connecting with students make him a valued member of the Mansfeld family! 

Megan Quintero has been with Mansfeld for about a year, serving as the school’s registrar. Before joining the district, she worked in case management and home and community-based services. 

Outside of her role at Mansfeld, Megan is a professional photographer and has run her own business, MegaPix Photography, for 12 years. When she’s not behind the camera, you’ll likely find her indulging her love for the arts; she’s passionate about Broadway musicals, community theater, and singing. Megan loves the lively, welcoming environment at Mansfeld, especially working with students and connecting with people every day. 

Amanda Becker is in her third year of teaching at Mansfeld, where she loves inspiring students to develop a passion for science. One of her favorite topics to teach is the desert ecosystem, exploring how plants and animals adapt to life in the desert. 

Ms. Becker also enjoys taking students to the school’s garden for hands-on learning experiences, like nature journaling and observation activities, helping them connect with the environment beyond the classroom. 

Born and raised in Tucson, Amanda loves hiking, spending time outdoors, and reading. Her favorite book is The Road by Cormac McCarthy. A fun fact about her? She has pet beetles that occasionally visit the classroom, much to the delight of her students!
