ADMINISTRATIVE ANNOUNCEMENTS
Director for Instructional Technology
Congratulations to Mrs. Pam Lowe as our Director for Instructional Technology. Pam graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Louisiana Tech University and a Master of Education Degrees in Curriculum and Instruction and Instructional Technology from Houston Baptist University. Pam began her teaching career in Alief at Landis Elementary as a first grade teacher in 1996. She also taught kindergarten, served as an interventionist, ESL specialist and Language Arts/Social Studies Specialist at Youens Elementary. Pam’s current role with Alief is as the Primary Language Arts Coordinator. She has served in this role since 2013. Pam has extensive knowledge in the area of technology being effectively used in the classrooms. Pam's knowledge, commitment and work ethic will be a tremendous asset to our overall instructional program.
Elsik HS Principal
We are very pleased to announce the naming of Ms. Tina Elzy, currently an Elsik HS API, as the next principal for Elsik HS. Ms. Elzy is the current Associate Principal of Instruction (API) for Elsik High School. She has served in this role for the past 2 years. Before becoming the API for Elsik, she served as an assistant principal at Taylor High School for one year. Prior to serving our students in Alief, Ms. Elzy came to us from Houston Independent School District, where she was a Teacher, Instructional Supervisor and Dean of Instruction for 17 years.
Ms. Elzy holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Secondary Mathematics Education from Southern University A&M College in Baton Rouge, LA and a Master of Education Degree from Texas Southern University in Houston, TX. There is no question she will be an asset as the next leader of Elsik HS and continue building upon the strong foundation already established.
