Prior to serving at Hebron, Mr. Cautivar taught at Killian Middle School, one of Hebron’s proud feeder schools. In his final year at KMS, the varsity orchestra earned a Sweepstakes rating at UIL performing a 5A Varsity High School program, for the first and only time in LISD Orchestra history.
Mr. Cautivar received a Bachelor of Music degree with honors from the University of North Texas. He is an advocate of LISD’s Strategic Design initiative as well as the 1:X initiative, having served previously on the Technology Cadre and Campus Design Team. He has presented professional learning for LISD as well as other learning communities on a variety of topics, such as technology in the classroom, grading for learning, and new teacher training. His professional affiliations include the Texas Music Educators Association and the Texas Orchestra Directors Association. He has served on the TMEA Election Committee, the UIL Music Advisory Committee, the TODA Composition Contest Committee, and the LISD Device Evaluation Committee.
Mr. Cautivar enjoys several genres of music, and even more – sharing the joy of music with students. In his free time he enjoys cooking and dining, watching and playing basketball, and taking his newly adopted pitbull Turtle Latte on runs at the lake.
