Dr. Carmen García currently serves as the Superintendent of the Morgan Hill Unified School District. She was born in Tepatitlán, Jalisco, México, and grew up in Southern California where she took full advantage of her K-12 education. Dr. García began teaching in the Long Beach Unified School District—an experience that remains one of the most gratifying of her career. Teaching is where her passion for student success took hold and, as a result, she began to immerse herself in academic literature and found the motivation to pursue graduate study and received her Doctorate from the University of Southern California.
Dr. García has worked tirelessly to enhance and collaboratively co- create educational systems via coherence, alignment, and strategic planning to bring together district/community educational partners—teachers, staff members, school leaders, parents, students, and community members—to ensure that students remain at the forefront as they are met at their point of need and propelled into the future of their dreams. She often describes this as the “I Plus One” where each and every student is provided the opportunities,
support, and resources needed to excel to their highest level of potential.
