Staff Spotlight: Mr. Garcia.
Mr. Garcia is an inspiring ELA teacher at Liberty Middle School. He has been working at a Liberty for the past 5 years and is the PLC leader of the ELA8 team. After enlisting in the United States Navy straight out of high school, he spent years working on jets, where he learned the value of precision, discipline, and teamwork. Following his service, he continued to work on the naval base. He also worked in the food industry, sharpening his leadership skills and developing a strong work ethic.
Not afraid of hard work or criticism, Mr. Garcia embraced every challenge along the way. Eventually, after starting a family, he felt a calling to education and transitioned to the classroom.
Now, as a teacher, he brings his resilience and life experience to inspire his students, creating a supportive and engaging environment. His journey from the Navy and the food industry to education is a testament to his belief in the power of persistence and transformative impact of learning.
