In Memoriam
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our beloved TAFE State Program Director, Donita Garza. Donita was an inspiration to everyone that she met and will have a lasting impact on the future educators of Texas. Education and preparing the next generation of teachers was a passion that drove her life.
Mrs. Garza has served as the TAFE Program Director for the past 7 years and has done an outstanding job of growing the TAFE program in many ways. She was a kind soul that was joyful to be around and had a smile that could light up a room. She will be missed by all who knew her.
Please consider donating to the TAFE Student Scholarship Fund her family set up in her honor.
TASSP is accepting applications for the
Texas Association of Future Educators Program Director Position.
