VAHS WELCOMES NEW STAFF
Debbie Fine, Assistant Principal
I am thrilled to be a part of the Van Alstyne community and the Assistant principal at Van Alstyne High School. I received my Bachelor’s Degree of Science from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia and my Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Texas. I have 18 years in education as a teacher, head coach, department chair, testing coordinator and assistant principal. I am looking forward to utilizing my experience to ensure that all students create their own future after leaving VAHS. I believe in building and fostering strong relationships.
Dacia McBryde, Executive Director of VAEF
I am currently serving as the Executive Director of the Van Alstyne Education Foundation and the College and Community Liaison for VAISD. I am originally from Van Alstyne, and a 2007 graduate from VAHS. I went to the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, AR where I graduated with a Bachelors in 2011 and a Masters in 2013. I previously worked as an Assistant Director at the University of Arkansas, where I worked with high school students on admissions and scholarships. My husband Mike and I live in McKinney with our dog, Chessie.
Shannon Jones, Nurse
I graduated from nursing school in 2006 as an LVN. I've worked in Neurology, Pediatric Home Health, and most recently General Surgery. I've wanted to be a school nurse since graduating. I'm excited to be here, and to get to know the students and staff. I've been married to by husband Aaron for 12 years. We are the proud parents to our son Ty who is 8, and just started the 3rd grade. I love to watch my son play baseball/basketball, and read in my free time.
Sarah Dezern, Registrar & Attendance
My name is Sarah Dezern. I have been married to Kyle Dezern for 12 years, and we have two children Kayla (9) and Dallas (7). My husband is a football & baseball coach at Melissa, and our children attend Harry McKillop Elementary school. This is my first year to work for a school district, and I am very excited to be a part of Van Alstyne High School.
Next week's edition will highlight staff in the science, math and foreign language departments!
