My name is Barry E. Ward II. I am a native Houstonian.  I was raised in a loving and encouraging family.  I take pride in my abilities to reach even the hardest to reach students.  I whole-heartedly believe that teaching is my Super Power.  I have served in education for 16+ years.  I am deeply rooted in my community and love helping all children to reach their fullest potential.  I enjoy reading, watching sports, writing, golfing, and spending time with my family.  It is my honor to be your child's Fourth Grade Teacher.
