- Dr. Almquist (@servingkids)
I graduated with my undergraduate degree from Texas A&M University - College Station (WH08P!) where I then started my teaching career. I attended Texas State University (all classes were at the Round Rock, TX campus) 2 nights a week for two years as a teacher, to complete my masters in Educational Leadership. While being a principal and director, I completed my doctorate of Educational Leadership & Policy from the Cooperative Superintendency Program (CSP) at The University of Texas - Austin in two years. I have two children, 2 and 3 years of age, who go to the Little Hippo and Hippo Hand in Hand programs here in #HippoNation. My husband, Cody Almquist, is a proud Hippo alum and we are honored to give back to a district that gave so much to him.
*Your passion, attitude, and touch change eternity.*

What is "Human Capital?"
What is a "Courant?"
Courant also means running according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. Hippos run. We run to ensure that our students are getting the very best that they deserve and need. We run to ensure that the spirit of the River Horse never dies. If you didn't know, River Horse means Hippo; It is the literal English translation of the Greek word Hippopotamus!
Our Courant will be composed of topics that relate to career pathways, growing us as individuals, and other topics that relate to the human capital component of our work.
