A leader’s legacy is not counted in awards or years of service, but in the people they’ve coached and empowered to become leaders themselves. Adrian Garcia, chief of technology and student services in Pharr-San Juan-Alamo ISD, has thrived under the mentorship of his boss and former 7th grade coach and teacher, Superintendent Danny King.
