Apaches! I am one of four Physical Educators here at Armando Leal Jr. Middle School Harlandale ISD. I graduated from Eagle Pass High School Class of 1977 from Eagle Pass, Texas. I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at the age of 17 and my military occupational specialty was a profession in the Infantry. After serving for more then twenty years I retired and went to school. I graduated from Palo Alto Jr. College Class of 1999, graduated from Texas State University Class of 2001. I started teaching at LEAL first as a Social Studies Teacher (Texas History loved it) and now as a Physical Educator. I Coach Football, Basketball, Girls Basketball, and Track & Field. I have been here at Armando Leal Jr. Middle School for the past 18 years so for my students I have been Teaching/Coaching before you were born which makes me feel really young. I love what I do because I want to give my students and my athletes what my parents and my middle school Coach gave me and that was Heart, Drive and Desire.

The world we live in has change tremendously and Technology is leading the way to how we learn and get an education. Technology made it possible that on July 20th, 1969 Apollo 11 landed on the moon and Neil Armstrong along with Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Did you know their is far more Technology in your cell phone then what it took to get to the Moon.

If YOU are determined to learn, No Can Stop YOU.
