Principal
Fairview Elementary

I started as a teacher at Washington Elementary, and I was given a lot of opportunities to grow when I expressed interest in leadership. My principal was great about providing new experiences on campus and within the district to gain experience and help me decide if campus administration was the right path for me. There was so much support from the central office and my campus, even other principals offering to collaborate. It played a huge part in getting me to where I am today.

Aldo Dominguez - Bilingual Teacher

Aldo Dominguez

Bilingual Teacher
Crutchfield Elementary

As a SHS grad, I was fortunate to be taught and later mentored by teachers who saw something in me that I hadn't yet seen in myself. They encouraged me to pursue education and modeled for me what it meant to lead with integrity and passion. Coming back to teach here has been a full circle moment! It is a privilege to be "Building Bearcats" and pour into students what was once poured into me.
