Staff Spotlight
Coach Taylor
What class do you teach? 7th and 8th Grade Girls PE and Girls Athletic Coordinator for SJ
How long have you been a teacher? 9 years teaching at SJ
What are your hobbies? My hobbies are plentiful. I enjoy acrylic painting, gaming with my son, and I just took up embroidery.

What is your favorite thing about being a teacher? The time spent with students outside of regular classroom interaction. In these times, teachers have the opportunity to help shape and build the character and aspirations of students.
MISD Values Project
The entire staff of San Jacinto is one of the first six schools in MISD to complete MVP training! The purpose of MISD Values Project (MVP) is to improve the culture within MISD. MVP classes give employees the opportunity to invest in themselves by taking time to reflect on their values and how they connect to their attitudes and actions. MVP started at Central Office and has a goal to train all MISD campuses by 2020. We salute SJ for working hard and being at the forefront of this project to make SJ the best school for all students and staff!
