Garcia, Steele Will Not Return to UC High in Fall

Earth Science Teacher Jose Garcia and Integrated Math Teacher Andrea Steel will not be returning to UC High next year, as they both were working at the school on temporary assignments.
Garcia said, “It has been an amazing year. The staff have been helpful and the students are extremely hard working. Since day one, I have felt part of the Centurion family,” he added.
“I would love to come back to UC High. I think I would rather come back and teach math, but I will be applying at Point Loma High to teach Portuguese and math, ” said Garcia.  “This summer, I will be going to Portugal, spending time with family and hanging out.”
Freshman Osirus Eisenman stated, “Mr. Garcia was an awesome teacher, being cool and laid back yet giving really good lectures.”
Steel stated, “It has been amazing, I love the kids, and it is nice to make a difference in kid’s life. The kids always seem to care, and I love the administration. I wish I could have met more staff while I was here, but everyone is always cooped up in their rooms.”
Steel stated, “I loved the PTA luncheons and enjoy letting my kids hang out in my room during lunch. I call them my lunch crew.”
Steel stated, “I would love to come back at some point in the future, because they asked me to come back and it did not work out for next year. Next year I will be teaching a college class and real estate. I have been doing real estate for the last six years.”
“I personally love teaching Integrated Math 3 instead of Integrated Math 2. I have been teaching a Discrete Math class a Coleman University, ” said Steel.
Junior Chloe Jones stated, “Ms. Steel is a wonderful teacher and has a very positive attitude!”
