My name is Jose Benitez and I am in my seventh year of teaching where I'm currently the Asst. Band Director at Krueger Middle School! I am a graduate of the University of the Incarnate Word and received my Bachelors in Music Education EC-12. I believe that music is essential to a person’s growth: mentally, physically, and emotionally. I also believe that through music education we can learn responsibility, teamwork, self-discipline, and self-expression. As a product of NEISD, I look forward to working in the district I grew up in, and I love working with young Musicians.
