A Word From Whittle
Please reach out to us as you need to. I try to be in classrooms and not in my office, but you can call me at 903-668-5990 ext. 2053 if you need to speak by phone or set up an appointment to meet with me directly. I'm generally easier to get by email at awhittle@hisd.com.
Looking forward to a great year!
