Gabriel Licon
I am beginning my 9th year in public education, where I have served as a Special Education Teacher (Inclusion/Resource/Life-Skills) and Athletics Coach (Football/Basketball/Track) throughout my career. I was born and raised in El Paso, Texas before graduating from Texas State University with a Bachelor's Degree in General Studies with emphasis in Coaching Athletes, Health & Wellness, and Mathematics. I then went on to earn my teaching certification in Special Education and pursue my teaching and coaching career in central Texas. I will be starting my second year at Westlake as a Collaborative Teacher in English I and U.S. History as well as an Assistant Coach for Boys Basketball and Track. Prior to Westlake I served as a teacher and coach for 2 years with Manor High School and 6 years with KIPP Austin Public Schools. I look forward to a great school year making positive impacts on young scholars in the classroom as well as assisting our athletic programs toward team and student-athlete success throughout the year.
