I am extremely excited about the opportunity to be an Assistant Principal at the AISD Dan Dipert Career and Technical Center. I have been in education for 19 years, spending 16 of those years in the AISD as a World History\/ PE\/ and AVID teacher. During those 16 years, I coached multiple sports. I have been an Assistant Principal for the last three years at Ousley Junior High.<\/p>\r\n
I am looking forward to working with the faculty and students at the Dan Dipert Career and Technical Center. We have developed a vision that will cultivate a business\/college culture and provide our students with very unique learning experiences. As an Assistant Principal, my responsibility is to ensure a safe learning environment so that the career\/college culture will flourish. I was also a Sergeant in the ARMY National Guard and served in IRAQ and Hurricane Katrina\/ Rita. I feel this experience gave me leadership skills that will assist in my role as Assistant Principal. I love what I do because I also get to work with young people and help direct them to their future. I enjoy working with teachers who share my passion of helping students grow. At the CTC\/ASC, there is no doubt that passion exists.<\/p>\r\n
