April 2019 - HJH: Excellence in Education
Principal at HJH
I wanted you to all know that I have loved every minute of being a principal, but I have accepted the position of HISD's Director of Special Programs for the 2019-2020 school year. It has been my honor and privilege to be a small part of your child's life.
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. The easiest way is email, as I am typically not in my office. awhittle@hisd.com
Blessings,
Amy Whittle
Principal
