Howdy! My name is Drew Garza, and I teach English III at Manvel High School. I was born and raised right up the road in Mo City, Texas and am happy to have ended up here at MHS. I graduated from Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas with my Bachelor of Arts Degree in English, and I am blessed to be currently continuing my education at Texas A&M to pursue my Master's in Curriculum and Instruction. Gig 'Em, Aggies!

I am very passionate about English and its tools and lessons it encompasses, and I am very excited to have the opportunity to be sharing my passion with my students. My goal as an educator is to teach the English curriculum within a context that will aptly prepare students for its real-world application. There are many relevant tools that are useful outside the classroom, and I aspire to emphasize that to my students.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and dog (Loki), being outside, and doing anything sports-related. I also enjoy reading and free-writing whenever I am able to. Milk chocolate is my second love.

I am so excited for this school year and to meet our new and returning Mavericks!

HOKA HEY!
