Principal's Corner
I am thrilled to be the newly appointed principal of Bailey Middle School. Over the last ten years, I have worked tirelessly to build schools that inspire and equip all students to pursue futures beyond what they can imagine. Prior to coming to Spring, I led campus transformation at the elementary, middle and high school levels. I’ve been blessed to serve as a Middle School Assistant Principal, High School House Principal, and Elementary Principal in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. I hold advanced degrees in Teaching and Educational Administration. I was born and raised in Houston--and I am delighted to be back home!
This work is important to me because my passion lies in the social progress of our children. I was educated in a poor community with schools that often lacked adequate text books, qualified personnel, supplies, and technology. Safety was a major concern because gang wars were fought inside school boundaries. Having battled poverty, violence, and environmental injustice makes me acutely aware of the struggles associated with urban adolescence. I am determined to advocate for our children and teach them how to use educational excellence to overcome adverse circumstances.
Together, we will leverage resources to cultivate a campus culture that empowers leadership at every level. This will be achieved with human potential, district core values, and professional dignity at the forefront of everything we do. Simply put: My goal is to empower you, so that you can empower our students!
