Sometimes we have to trust a plan that we DIDN’T expect & embrace the pace of our NEXT journey...like joining another side of the Ranch (and my inaugural RMS Class of Longhorns-the incoming seniors) as the George Ranch HS Principal for the 19-20 school year.

People often say they want the job…but if you ever wonder what it takes to be the Principal here you go…finally on your one week vacay but you still must set your campus up for success! It’s not about what’s easy for adults…it’s about what’s best for kids.✌🏼

This senseless tragedy is every educator’s worst nightmare, and keeps admin up at night racking our brains to do everything in our power to put the safety of our kids and Staffamily first. Prayers for the Uvalde community as they try to find comfort through the uncertainty. 💔

Please keep our Longhorn Family in your thoughts, we lost a GRHS legend this morning. Coach Chris Pierce was part of the original Longhorn staff and was taken too soon after a fierce battle against cancer. He was a dedicated teacher/coach, husband, and dad and will be missed. 🎗
A1: Proud to be moving into a High School Principal position where I “GET TO” graduate my FIRST group of 6th graders when I opened the feeder 6th grade campus in 2013!
