Greetings, students and parents!  My name is Eric Cruz, and I am so excited about starting my first year at I.S.A.  At the start of my 20th year in education, I am most excited about getting to know your child, helping them improve their reading and writing skills, and helping them discover the transformative power of a learning community rooted in critical thinking, risk taking, and care for one another. 

I previously taught at Stephen F. Austin High School (2003-2009), KIPP University Prep (2009-2012), and Alamo Heights High School (2012-2021). 

An avid reader, a professional writer, and someone who really enjoys all forms of exercise, former students have described me as energetic, patient, and open-minded.   

Thank you all for welcoming me into the Globie community--I can't wait to see how your children expand their horizons!
