About Liz Wood

I have been the principal for Salyards Middle School for the past four years. Prior to becoming principal, I served as the associate principal at Cypress Falls High School for five years, director of instruction for six years, and the academic achievement specialist for one year. My administrative career was preceded by a 14-year mathematics teaching career that began with five years in Louisiana, followed by nine years teaching at Cypress Falls.

I received my Bachelor of Science in Education from Louisiana State University and my Master of Educational Administration from Stephen F. Austin State University.

I am married to my wonderful husband John and we have six amazing children – Jason, Allie, Ryan, Erika, Maddie, and Taylor.

I feel that I have the BEST job in the world because I get to serve Salyards students and staff on a daily basis!! BENGAL PRIDE!!
