My name is Jeanna Vasquez-Garza, I am a life-long resident of Casa Grande and my family has been in Casa Grande for six-generations; even before Arizona was a State. I have two children, Matthew and Kaylee. I am a graduate of Arizona State University Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Secondary Education-Mathematics (BAE), and in the process of obtaining a Learning Design and Technologies (MEd) degree from Arizona State Univeristy.
An unknown author once said, “A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.” There are no better words than these to describe why I became a teacher. I want to inspire students to be problem solvers in and out of the classroom. I am fortunate to have had teachers who believed in my abilities and encouraged me to become academically successful. Their guidance ultimately led me to where I am today and my goal is to pass on the same guidance and mentoring to the students in my classroom.
