Hello Jones Futures Academy students, families, and community. My name is Ryan Estrada, and I am proud to serve as your Algebra I teacher and Dual Credit professor - EDUC 1300 (HCC) this year. This year will be my 14th year in education. I served as a Math teacher for both middle and high school students, an AVID teacher, a Math and grade team lead, the campus registrar, and served as a mentor to first-year and upcoming teachers.  

I am a native Houstonian and hold multiple degrees in School Counseling, Psychology, and Math Education. I come from a family of educators. My dad and relatives on my mom's side were educators in the Philippines. However, I discovered the field of education through tutoring elementary school students in Southwest Houston. As an only child, attending school served as my safe space. Now, as a teacher, I hope my students will see school is not only a place to learn but also open themselves to opportunities that are given to them. 

During my free time, I love to travel, bowl, volunteer, attend and watch NCAA basketball games, and spend time with my family and friends.  

If you need to contact me, e-mail will be best. I will respond within 1-2 business days. I am looking forward to a great school year.
