Center for Creative Learning
Claudia & Joe Galindo
Father of 4 Huck students, Mr. Joe grew up in a Spanish speaking home, but decided to major in Spanish at college to become seriously fluent! He didn't feel like that did the trick though, so then he proceeded to live in several Spanish-speaking countries. This is where his fluency took off! He loves to share this beautiful language with other Huck students!
