Laura Garza - Financial Secretary
Department: Main Office - Financial Secretary
Why I Love DMS: The creativity we all bring to our atmosphere. Creating as one body a safe and positive learning setting for our future leaders. The Montessori Education has taken each child and transformed them into a unique person and when those students come back to share their accomplishment it brings a joy to my heart to know that our DMS family had a part in that.
Fun Fact: I work the after school program here on Campus (Clayton Youth) it’s a great de-stressor. I have 5 children all grown and graduated. 1 granddaughter(Haleijah) and 3 grandsons( Jayzzal, Elijah, and Isaiah) who I think I love more than my own grown baybay kids. I married my high school (Paschal) sweetheart (Erick). I’ve always wanted to go skydiving. This is my 17th year here at Daggett Montessori.
