This journey definitely presented new challenges BUT through it all the mindset to finish the job remained the focus!

In the end, you only want to do right by the students, families & staff you serve! Showing off this staff was a no brainer b/c they work hard for kids. Thank you Superintendent Dr. Mason, Board Pres. Johnson & Board member Dr. Roberson for taking the time to “see” this Staff too!
This week, I had the opportunity to visit one of my favorite Alvin ISD principals, Dr. Garnet Foster, who leads the ADAPT Program, Alvin ISD’s Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP). Dr. Foster welcomed Superintendent Dr. Rhonda Mason, Board President A.J. Johnson III, and me for a campus tour. The halls were clear and quiet, learning was taking place in every classroom, and every staff member we encountered greeted us with joy. This campus is a gem and serves a vital role in our district. I have long admired Dr. Foster’s leadership, and I was blessed that we could support each other’s doctoral research exploring the experiences of African American male principals. That shared journey makes witnessing his impact even more meaningful. Dr. Foster, thank you for your transformative leadership and for modeling what it means to transcend all. To Dr. Foster and the entire ADAPT staff: #WeSeeYOU, and we appreciate you!

Goal setting is not only about the academics but also behavior. Shout out to Ms. Garcia for leading a reflective session on tracking behavior goals with her class. What I did well, what I need to improve on, and what did I do to affect it either way.

The @TASSP1 2026 final general session speaker @GholdyM was worth staying around. Her Genius, Joy and Justice presentation concluded a good week of learning and preparing to be Leader in a Changing Landscape.

Even when…. No, especially when you are a team of one, you have to keep learning things to be better for your students. TASSP conference = more items in the toolbox!

When you have been at a job for a while & continue to preform at a high standard, your consistency may result in being overlooked. Bias,maybe, but 🗣️ shout out & congratulations to my favorite lead counselor, Mrs. Foster and the MHS counseling team for your Crest Award.

I saw the balloons in my office today and thought someone was playing a joke! (I’m not 75 or 57) She isn’t 57 either. We do celebrate Ms. Stable’s 57 STUDENTS who were published in the Young Writers publication! I challenged her, she challenged them, they accepted! Her 3rd time.

They already know the what & the why it happened. We aim to shape or reshape the “how” to handle the this or that moment moving forward. It starts with “you are” more than “you are not”! Our staff wants them to see it at every turn.

Welcome back! The first day is always filled with a certain excitement and energy! As best we can, leaders want to bottle it up and save some for the long school year! Today was a loose, laugh and learn kind of day. 2025 -2026 school year has begun!
