Abe Ruiz – Physical Education Teacher, Lovett Elementary
My name is Abe Ruiz, and I am proud to be the Physical Education teacher at Lovett Elementary! This is actually my third time being part of the Lovett Owl family—first as a student in the 90s, then as an extended day staff member during my college years at the University of Houston, and now as a full-time PE teacher.
I grew up in southwest Houston and attended Lovett Elementary, Meyerland (Johnston) Middle School, and Bellaire High School, where I played four years of basketball. My passion for sports and physical education has only grown over the years, and I am thrilled to share that enthusiasm with my students every day.
My goal is to create a fun, active, and inclusive environment where students not only build physical skills but also develop teamwork, confidence, and a lifelong love for staying active. Being back at Lovett allows me to give back to the community that helped shape me, and I couldn’t be more excited to make a positive impact on our students.
