Howdy, Ranger Nation!

Over the last 23 years in public education, I have built my career on one simple principle: lead through a life of service. In the book, The Leadershop challenge, Kouzes and Posner said, "We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give. " It is an honor to give  back to this tremendous community and serve as your principal at Clements High School. 

Early on, I found I had a passion for serving students, when I drove a school bus in college, worked in an adaptive behavior unit, and served as a youth RTC counselor and worship/youth pastor. After graduating with a B.S. in EC-4 Education at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor, I taught grades Kinder and fourth and served as an elementary instructional coach. In 2012, I graduated with an M. Ed. in Administration at Sam Houston State. I spent four years in Spring Branch ISD as an assistant principal at Landrum Middle School and then proudly served as middle school principal at James Bowie Middle School for the last six years. In July of 2022, I was named principal at Clements High School. 

At Clements, we have an opportunity to impact students at a pivotal moment in their lives. We see this challenge as an opportunity and believe FBISD's Profile of a Graduate as our target for success in life beyond our classroom walls. I look forward to partnering with you on this journey as our students pursue a future beyond what they can imagine!

 Let's Ride, Rangers!
