    Hello, my name is Mrs. Santizo. This is my 6th year here at DeZavala. I love this small school with a big heart! It truly is amazing! I graduated from UNT with a Bachelor's in Interdisciplinary Studies and ESL. (GO MEAN GREEN!) I love to travel and spend time with my family. On the weekends we are probably enjoying the outdoors and doing something adventurous.

    ¡Buenos días! My name is Mr. Favela and this is my 7th year as an educator, all of them at De Zavala! I was born and raised in Aurora, IL (Party on Garth!), a small suburb of Chicago. I moved to Texas in 2003 and attended UTA, where I majored in International Business and Spanish. Immediately after graduation, I decided teaching is where my passion truly lies and completed my alternative certification. I enjoy arts and crafts!
