Guerrero is an artist, educator, dance historian, and humanitarian committed to promoting understanding between cultures. Rosa was a teacher for 20 years, developing the first intercultural school programs. She was awarded life membership in the Texas PTA and was the first Hispanic woman in El Paso to have a school named in her honor; Rosa Guerrero Elementary. She is founder and artistic director of the International Folklorico Dance Group. Her film Tapestry, a study in cultural harmony and understanding, was honored with a national documentary award. Guerrero has been the recipient of many honors, including Outstanding Woman in the Arts (Women’s Political Caucus), Outstanding Woman Artist in El Paso (the Mexican American National Association), one of the Outstanding Hispanics in the Southwest (Adolph Coors, Co.), and Outstanding Hispanic of El Paso (UTEP).
