Hello! My name is Michelle Garrison and I am extremely excited to be a part of the Vista Grande Family. I grew up in Eloy, Arizona, and spent most of my career there serving the students in my community. I graduated from the University of Arizona with a degree in education. For fun, I enjoy playing sports, coaching, reading, camping, hiking, traveling, serving God, and spending time with my friends and family. I have two amazing daughters, Mikayla and Myah, who keep me very busy. I look forward to making new memories and building new relationships as I begin my career here at Vista Grande.
