Chastity Caesar, Principal

Native Houstonian Chastity N. Caesar returns to her 5th Ward home as principal of McReynold's Middle School for her second year. Ms. Caesar holds 19 years of educational experience including instructing overseas, dual Master's degrees, and a passion to see every student succeed.

Having attended Fifth Ward schools for the majority of her education (Atherton ES,  Fleming MS, M.B. Smiley HS), she hopes to pour back into the community the hope and vision for excellence that was instilled in her. She began her local career in Channelview and then moved to CyFair ISD. Where she served as a 7^th/8^th Grade Science Teacher, served as a behavioral specialist, district consultant teacher and administrator.  Her combined education and career path offer a theoretical and practical bank of resources and viewpoints on what diverse learning populations need, which aided her in bringing the campus from an F rating to a B rating her first year as principal.

As the mother of an athlete and scholar, Ms. Caesar believes that extra-curricular activities and parental engagement are the keys to academic achievement. "The whole child is entrusted to us. We have to show them that the world is theirs and how to achieve their wildest dreams," Ms. Caesar shares, "it happens in my home, and it will be so for every child on every campus that I am blessed to serve".
