About Mr. Bustillos
Originally from Midland, Texas, Mr. Bustillos joined THES in 2015. Prior to coming to Austin, he was a bilingual classroom teacher in Denver. He graduated from Texas State University with a degree in International Studies with a focus on Latin America. During his college years, he volunteered and was trained at CASA of Central Texas to advocate for children and teens. The opportunity to help kids opened up a new world that led him to teaching. For Mr. Bustillos, children are first priority; the moment we begin to neglect our children is the moment we see our nation breakdown. He is a first generation Mexican American. From his parents, he learned valuable lessons around discipline, expectations, goals and belief in oneself, which are all traits he hopes to pass on to students at Travis Heights.
