• Welcome! My name is Roel Garza. I am the Lead Ag Science Teacher at Banquete High School. I'm starting my 21st year at Banquete. I graduated from Texas A&I University in 1989 with a degree in Ag Education with a minor in Animal Science. Prior to being the Ag Teacher in Banquete I served as a County Extension Agent-Agriculture with the Texas Agrilife Extension Service in Kleberg-Kenedy Counties for 2 1/2 years and Nueces County for 8 years.

    I teach the Ag Mechanics Classes at Banquete High and serve as one of the FFA Advisors. I feel that the FFA Motto:

    Learning to Do

    Doing to Learn

    Earning to Live

    Living to Serve

    best exemplifies my teaching philosophy. The best way to learn is to jump in and do it. Hands on Learning is typical in my classes. I focus on teaching skills that students can use their whole life.
