Master Sergeant Garcia, a teacher at Valley High School in the Elk Grove Unified School District, was nominated as Entravision’s next spotlight teacher. The recognition came through the Thank a Teacher Program that the company, Entravision, holds each year. Entravision, a large media company with a vision to advocate for and connect with Latinos in the U.S, hosts the Thank a Teacher Program to recognize teachers for the great work they do.
