A little bit about myself: This year will be my 11th year as an educator. I taught at Kirkpatrick Elementary before coming to Sam Rosen. Prior to teaching, I worked in the banking industry. I am married to a wonderful man named Abel. I don't have children of my own, but I have two of the best step-daughters and two granddaughters. I love traveling, being outdoors, and spending time with family and friends.

Mr. José Garrigó

Second Grade Dual Language Teacher

Hello Everyone! Thank you for your warm welcome to Sam Rosen Elementary. I am extremely happy to join this family.

I believe in education as a transfer of hope and knowledge. This is my why. I was born in once beautiful Havana. I studied in a rural school under communist principals during my first and second grade. My family migrated to Spain when I was eight. There, I was thrown into a full Catalan immersion school. I struggled and was always in trouble. I quit school to work full time at age fourteen as my father was dying. A couple in my community saw potential in me and provided the encouragement and tools for me to go back to school and persevere. I attended middle and high school after work and graduated.

I migrated to the US alone at age twenty-one, learned basic English while working long hours, and applied to several colleges. I was accepted in a college on probation for my low language scores. I graduated Cum Laude in four years and became an elementary bilingual teacher. I got a full ride for a masters degree in Bilingual Education at Saint John’s University in NYC. After marrying my wife from Barcelona, we moved there and raised our kids. I worked developing a program in a trilingual school. Eventually, I became vice-principal for about ten years. During the last thirteen years of my life I have been teaching adults and organizing ESL classes for immigrants. After finishing my last project, I decided to go back to my roots as a teacher. It is a joy to be in Sam Rosen and be part of this school family. I am looking forward to working with all of you.
