Head Principal at South Oak Cliff HighSchool in Dallas, TX
I have served as a public school educator for 26 years. During my tenure, I have been fortunate to assist with moving two schools, identified by the Texas Education Agency as low performing, to academically acceptable. Notably, at my former campus, we experienced double-digit gains across all content areas simultaneously reducing the racial achievement gap, as well, received 2 academic distinctions 2014-15 and one 2015-16 from the Texas Education Agency for academic performance. The aforementioned accomplishments illustrate my desire to make a difference in the quality of education afforded to students. Besides being a school principal, I provide support to future school leaders as an adjunct professor at Grand Canyon University as well, operate an educational consulting firm, IMPACT. My dissertation addresses the racial achievement gap.
