My name is Erin Hodgson and I am excited to join the Baines Longhorn team for the 2016-17 school year as the Special Education Department Chair.  I received my Bachelor's degree from Southwest Texas State University in 2002 in Exercise and Sports Science and my Master's degree in Administration form Grand Canyon University in 2015.  I have been in education for 14 years starting my career as a special education lifeskills teacher and coach at Alvin High School.  After teaching in Alvin, I continued my career in Pearland Independent School District as a behavior teacher, resource teacher, and special education department head.  

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my family.  I have been happily married for 9 years and have 3 beautiful children whom all attend Scanlan Oaks Elementary.
