Hello Everyone! My name is Maria Jose Garza and I
am one of the Peer Facilitators here at Garfield Elementary. Some of my
responsibilities are Dual Language Coordinator, GT Pullout Teacher, and
Bilingual H.O.S.T.S. program.
I am originally from Mexico, but have been raised in
Houston, Texas. I attended the University of Houston and graduated with
a Bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I knew since Middle
School that I wanted to become a teacher. I have taught for about 5 1/2
years and have enjoyed the smiles of all my students.
I have a wonderful husband and a baby girl about to
turn 1! She keeps me busy every afternoon!
We are always looking for new mentors to enrich the
lives of our students, so if you would like to volunteer please contact
me at (713) 740-0584.
If you would like more information about our Dual
Language Program and its benefits, please call (713) 740-0584 or e-mail
