Hello my name is Miguel Rodriguez. I have been an educator for over 18 years now working at several schools at varying grade levels. I have mostly focused on teaching Spanish from levels 1 to 4, but have also done ESL for a few years as well.I was previously a teacher at Teague ISD (my home town) for over 15 years, Rosebud-Lott for 1 year and Midway ISD 1 year. As for my education I attended Navarro Community College and got my Bachelor’s and Master’s from Sam Houston State University ( Eat’em Up Kats!!!). I come from a large family and my siblings and I are first generation Mexican-American children who have close ties to our family and heritage. I have  lived in Lorena for about 5 years now with my wife Lauren McCoy and our two beautiful baby girls Emma and Anna. I love the small town environment which reminds me a lot of my own upbringing. We hope to make this our girls lifelong community so they too can experience the same lifestyle. I look forward to this upcoming school year to get to know everyone and be part of this district.
