Beginning my 32nd year as an educator, I have been a teacher, coach and
administrator at ten different districts across the state of Texas. This is
the second time I have worked in Round Rock ISD.
I attended Texas Tech University and earned my Bachelors and Masters Degrees
and earned a doctorate in Educational Administration from Texas A&M
University. I completed my mid-management certification at Southwest Texas
State University, now known as Texas State University. I was a principal at
3 different schools, worked in the central office and was a superintendent.
I am happy I have returned to the classroom where I get to interact with
great kids everyday.
I have three wonderful children ages 18, 14 and 12. My favorite things to do
are teaching, coaching baseball, reading non-fiction, watching the
Smithsonian
station, playing golf, sailing my 26 foot sailboat "So Long" on Lake Travis,
and scuba diving, horses and 7th graders.
My mission for our class is to examine the evolution of the great state of
Texas from prehistoric times to present. After completing this class
students should have a thorough understanding of the geography, culture,
history, ethnicities, economics, natural resources and the many people past
and present who had a hand in making Texas the vibrant and diverse state is
it now.
