📏 Alumni Spotlight 🍎

Meet Leslie Villa! Leslie attended Garcia Elementary School, Cunningham Middle School and Moody High School. She is a teacher at Oak Park Elementary School.

"I’m now in my 12th year of teaching, and I’ve always known elementary education is where I’m meant to be. I still remember my elementary teachers, Ms. Barrios, Ms. Keane, Ms. Shaum, and Ms. Botello, who each impacted me in different ways and showed me how much a teacher can influence a child’s life. Their encouragement, patience, and dedication inspired the teacher I strive to be, and I hope to make that same lasting impact on my own students."

🍎 Alumni Spotlight 🦺

Meet Mark Arvizu! Mark graduated from Moody High School. He is an Environmental Health & Safety Coordinator at Howard Energy Partners.

"My time at Foy H. Moody High School helped prepare me for my career by giving me the opportunity to explore my interests and begin thinking seriously about my future. One teacher who made a difference in my life was Lynda Ramos. I had her as a teacher for multiple years, and she was someone who supported and encouraged me throughout high school. Having a teacher who believed in me and wanted to see me succeed made a lasting impact."
