Hello Cougar families! 

I am so proud and honored to serve as one of your Assistant Principals at Cucamonga Middle School and join the Cougar family!  

I have served as a teacher for 23 years and have also been an AVID Coordinator and District director during that time. Currently I’m a national AVID Staff Developer and have trained teachers around the country on best teaching practices and strategies.  

I have a passion for equity and believe all students can be college and career ready when prepared with evidenced based practices and support. As your assistant principal it is my goal to ensure the safety of your children and support their growth into becoming confident communicators, leaders, problem solvers, relationship builders and reflective thinkers.  

I'm looking forward to inspiring your learners to be future ready and ignite in them the endless possibilities for themselves, their families, and community! 

Sincerely,  

Mr. Jess Garcia, M.Ed.
