Hello Taft Families!
I am Hortencia Garcia-Rubio and I am proud to the Principal at Taft Middle School! My first name means hydrangea in Spanish and the "H' in Hortencia is silent. I have been an educator since August 1999. I have been at Taft for 8 years now. I am so proud of our students, staff, and community. We are especially proud of our Spanish Language Immersion Program.
I've worked at many high schools through out our district and I believe the important work for college success begins in middle school.
I am so happy that you are at Taft! Thank you for being a part of our community.
Go Eagles!
