Dear Royal Junior High Students, Families, Staff, and Community,

It’s a great day to be a Falcon!  It is with great excitement and sincere gratitude that I introduce myself as the new Principal of Royal Junior High School. I am honored to join the Royal ISD family and look forward to partnering with our students, families, staff, and community as we begin an exciting new chapter together.

As an educator, I have been privileged to serve in a variety of roles, including High School Teacher, Lead High School Counselor, Assistant Principal, and Associate Principal in elementary, middle, and high schools. Throughout my career, I have been compelled to work in education with the goal of paying forward the difference that educators made in my own journey when I was a student.  I truly believe in the power of education and its ability help every child to achieve their potential. My primary goal as your principal is to provide the supportive environment for our students, staff and families to excel.  When we invest in relationships, empower others, and maintain high expectations, students and educators alike can achieve extraordinary things.

I began my collegiate experience as a two-time graduate of Prairie View A&M University with a Bachelor’s of Business Administration followed by a Master of Arts in Counseling.  Later, I continued on to a Master of Science from the University of Houston-Victoria in Educational Administration.  Finally, I earned my fourth and terminal degree with a Doctorate of Educational Leadership specializing in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Houston-Clear Lake.  I am also certified in five areas:  Principal, School Counselor, Secondary Business, English as a Second Language Supplemental and Special Education Specialist.

I believe that every student deserves to be challenged academically, supported emotionally, and encouraged to discover their unique strengths and talents. Likewise, every staff member deserves to be empowered, supported, and recognized for the incredible impact they make each day. Through strong partnerships with our families and community, we will continue building a school where students develop the confidence, character, and skills needed to thrive both inside and outside the classroom.

To our families, thank you for entrusting us with your children. Your partnership is essential, and I invite you to stay actively involved in the life of our school. Together, we can create experiences that prepare every Falcon for success today and in the future.

I am truly honored to serve as your Principal. I cannot wait to celebrate the accomplishments we will achieve together as we learn, grow, and soar.  Falcons, take flight.

Welcome to Royal Junior High School.
