Who is Mrs. Morrison?

  I am a mother of three wild boys, Kase, Kaden, and James. I'm the wife of Shane Morrison, a business owner of a plumbing company in La Vernia. I was raised in San Antonio by my parents, Judy and Mickey Gavlick. I have two siblings, Melissa Slagle and Duane (Chip) Gavlick. 

    From age three, I have danced with the Hermon Sons of Dance at the downtown facility. I performed as a Polkateer from age twelve to sixteen, where I competed yearly, around Texas. I attended McCollum High School in San Antonio was a member and Colonel of The Gold Star Dance Team, receiving Miss High Kick, invitations to Maui Hawaii, and Macy's Thanksgiving parade. I  became an officer of TDEA, my junior year. I graduated high school in 2003. 

    From there, I attended Southwest Texas University (now Texas State University) working two jobs. I became a member of the Dean’s List and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Dance and Communications Applications. Throughout college, I was able to perform in a Performance Arts program at Palo Alto College, I taught Jazz and Hip Hop to children and adults at the dance studio, Encore Dance Dimensions.

    After college, I was employed at East Central ISD where I received my certificate in EC-4. I have been employed at La Vernia ISD since August 2010. Since then, I taught at the Primary School for two years, and transferred to the high school in 2012, while directing our wonderful LV HoneyBears; though I resigned from coaching, that organization will forever have a huge place in my heart. My certificates consist of EC-4, ESL, English Language Arts, Communications Applications, and Dance 8-12. I love my students, I love my job, and I'm here to help, inspire, and motivate ALL of our students here at La Vernia High School.
