Dear Elgin ISD Families and Staff, “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – Lao TzuOver thirty years ago, I began my journey as a public school educator. From the beginning, my purpose and passion was to serve others and improve lives through public education. It still is.Over the course of those 30+ years, I have had the unique opportunity to serve as a teacher, campus administrator, and central office administrator. My career has taken me to various districts across the state of Texas, working in small, mid-sized, and large districts. Urban, suburban, and rural school districts.
