My name is Rachelle Cruz. I received my bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Houston Downtown. This is my 20th year of teaching. I was in Alief ISD for nine years and taught first and second grade. I have taught first grade, ECSE, and Resource at Colony Meadows. I am currently the SAILS teacher. I encourage my students to work hard, never give up, and to believe in themselves. 

When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my husband, son, and daughter.
