Coach Garfield is extremely excited to be a part of TEAM AISD and believes our AISD coaches throughout the district are top-tier individuals. The AISD coaches, staff, athletes, and parents are a family. The goal of AISD Athletics, under Coach Garfield’s leadership, is to take our student-athletes to places that they have not been before, both academically and athletically.
