About

My name is Chris Chappotin, and I am Principal at STEAM Middle School in Burleson, TX. Formerly, I was Academic Associate Principal at Burleson Centennial High School and STEAM Middle School. I am married to @HeidiChappotin, and we live in Burleson with our 5 children and 2 dogs.

I am passionate about developing empowerment cultures, innovative instructional design and implementation, and accomplishing both in the context of meaningful relationships. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology from Abilene Christian, a master's degree in educational leadership from UT Arlington, and 10 years of experience at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.

Enneagram calls me a "3w2," and High 5 Strengths Test says I naturally have the following strengths: Coach, Brainstormer, Storyteller, Catalyst, and Optimist. Ultimately, I am about creating empowering learning, embracing productive struggles, and entering into the lives of teachers and students with a group of problem-solving, humble, and trusted colleagues committed to giving the gift of a quality education.
