What makes you so passionate about HEB ISD? The reason educators do what they do -- and the reason I chose the profession myself for over 30 years -- has everything to do with our kids and their future. My upbringing is the “why” behind my passion for HEB ISD and education as a whole. I was given so many great opportunities and I am doing my best to pay it back. When you provide a wonderful atmosphere in school for students to learn, you are creating our future. Another motivation for ensuring this district and our kids are successful is because my grandkids are students in this district. I will use my time and energy to make this place great and give our students unlimited opportunities. “ “ 1982. I returned to HEB ISD in 1984 to finish out the remaining 23 years of my career. My final post was serving as the principal of Trinity from 1998 to 2007. It is important to me that all of our kids are successful. They are our future and I believe it is our responsibility to prepare them to go and do what they are called to do. 11
