Hello Cortina Tigers! My name is Conchita Marie Garcia. I am very excited to be your fourth-grade ELA/Social Studies teacher. A little bit about me is that I have been working in education for 10 years and I have been a part of the Cortina family for 5 years. I began as a paraprofessional in special education and during that time I loved working with children, watching them learn and grow. So, I decided to go back to school and get my teaching credentials.
I graduated from WGU with a BA in Interdisciplinary Studies K-8 and I am continuing my education to obtain my gifted endorsement. I am excited to be your student's teacher and to watch them grow as a "Super Star!"
When I am not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family. Before moving to Arizona, I was born and raised in Bay Area, California. My family and I reside in Gilbert, and we are proud to call Arizona our new home. My hobbies include watching movies, learning to play golf, traveling, and CrossFit/Peloton. I am married to my wonderful husband Chris, and we have 2 young men, Dominic attending ASU and Vincent a Junior at Higley High.
