Travis started his career in Marketing and Communications prior to embarking on his teaching career at Orange Grove Middle School. There, he has taught English Language Arts in addition to earning his Master of Arts degree from National University. Travis focuses on key concepts to teach his students and to connect them to the community through critical thinking and emotional awareness.
"Mr. Michalak's class isn't my son's favorite class; however, it is the class that challenges him more than any other. In the long run, Michalak is doing more for students' confidence, responsibility and personal growth ... than most. We thank him so much!" -- Anita McGuire, parent

Business Partner Highlight
ProCleaners is a green cleaning company, meaning we clean in a way that's kind to the environment.
Our clients are located all throughout Tucson and include surgery centers, government buildings, non-profit organizations, schools, doctor's offices, dental offices, salons and religious organizations.
We have had the distinct honor and privilege of cleaning for the Catalina Foothills School District since 2011.
We are proud supporters of the Catalina Foothills School District Foundation because of our belief in giving to worthy causes. The Foundation's mission to attract, develop and retain excellent teachers throughout the district is the lifeblood of what makes the Catalina Foothills School District so special. As parents of two children currently enrolled within district schools (a 9th grader at the high school and one at Valley View Early Learning Center) and another soon on her way, we felt it was paramount we support the future of our children through an organization that cares so deeply for its cause.
