I feel like I'm part of a family. We tend to help each other and make sure everything's accomplished at the end of the day. The best part is having a set schedule, so after four o'clock, I can relax. There's no stress or anything.

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.

Sherman High School

I think Building Bearcats means teaching and educating young people to be better community members and citizens. Someone who is going to go forward and be a better spouse or parent or employee or boss. It means giving them the tools that they need to be successful and enter the world a little more prepared for whatever it is they choose to do.

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.
