Drawing from the National Hispanic Male Teacher Survey (NHMTS) pilot in Texas, this paper aims to expand efforts to recruit, prepare, support, and sustain Hispanic male teachers in K-12 institutions. The findings drawn from 839 educators present becoming a future role model to Hispanic students, dismantling stereotypical assumptions around being Hispanic and male, confronting racism within the teacher role, and the burden of being the translator, disciplinarian, and educator all in one. Our study contributes to the differentiation of teacher recruitment and retention strategies when addressing the underrepresentation of racially and ethnically minoritized educators in the teacher workforce.
