This is my sixteenth year at Garcia and I will teach both 7th and 8th grade. I was born in Louisiana and attended both elementary and middle school in Lake Charles, but I attended high school in Texas. I graduated from McNeese State University in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and I moved back to Texas in 2000 and have been here ever since. I have five grandchildren, two that are currently at Austin High School. I believe Garcia is one of the top middle schools in Fort Bend. I have Tuesday morning tutorials, but I also allow extra days with permission from me. Let's make this a great year.
