Welcome to Mr. Ruben Primitivo Garza's website.  This is my second year teaching at Great Lakes Cyber Academy, and I am excited to help you along with your academic career.  I was born in Texas, moved around during my K-12 career with a military family,  changed schools a couple of times along the way.  I graduated high school in Texas with honors in 2010 and went to college at the University of Texas at San Antonio.  After graduating from UTSA in 2014, I moved to Michigan to study Welding Engineering Technology at Delta Community College.  I finished with a Certificate in Welding in 2016 and proceeded to work at a couple of jobs at weld shops and aerospace factories before jumping to Saginaw Valley State University to obtain my teaching certificate.  I taught Algebra 1 and Welding the past 2 years at Bridgeport High School.

​

To let you into my personal life, I am the oldest of 3. I have a younger brother and sister, we were raised military, my dad was Air Force and retired after 22 years and 1 tour in Afghanistan.  I am recently married, as well as being a new homeowner in Owosso.  So as far as life is going, I would say I am in a really good spot, and she is the reason that I am where I am.  Below is the proposal picture from our trip to Marquette, and yes I am knee-deep in the waterfall.

​

As a family we put a lot of focus on our academics,  I hope I can instill the same focus in my students.  My contact information is available at anytime, please also make use of the Google Suite (Gmail, Hangouts, Classroom).
