Hello!  My name is Matt Garcia.  I am a Resource/Inclusion and Services (RIS) teacher at Highland Elementary.  I graduated from The University of Texas at Brownsville/Texas Southmost College(Now UTRGV) with a Bachelor's of Art. 

My affection for teaching was passed down to me from my past teachers who made their passion for teaching contagious.  My goal as an educator is to provide a safe and nurturing learning environment that is accessible to all learning types and to create an organizational culture that embraces care, respect, safety and inclusion.
