Principal’s Message

As we embark on a new academic year, I am thrilled to introduce myself and share my vision for our collective journey ahead. I am honored to join the West Briar community, bringing with me 20 years of experience in education. I am a proud graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering.  Additionally, I hold a Master’s degree in Education Administration from Concordia University in Austin.

Our school has a rich history of excellence, and I am committed to honoring the past systems that have brought us this far. At the same time, I am excited about the opportunity to work together to close any gaps and push our campus towards an A rating.

My goals for this year are threefold:

1. Building Strong Relationships: I believe that the foundation of a thriving school lies in the strength of its relationships. Together, we will foster a culture of trust, respect, and collaboration among staff, students, and the broader community.
2. High-Quality Instruction: Our primary mission is to ensure that every student receives the highest quality education. I am dedicated to supporting and empowering our teachers to deliver exceptional instruction that meets the diverse needs of our students.
3. Enhancing Current Systems: While respecting the successful practices already in place, I am committed to enhancing our systems and processes to improve efficiency, effectiveness, and outcomes for all.

I am eager to listen, learn, and collaborate with each of you to make this vision a reality. Together, we will create an environment where every student can thrive, every teacher can excel, and our entire community can feel proud.  It is a great year to be a Grizzly!

Thank you for your support.

“We win as a team.”
