Hello!

My name is Randi McPhate and I am the school Library and Media Specialist at the STEAM Academy at Mambrino.  Previously, I have worked in Special Education here at Mambrino, and also at Granbury Middle School and STARS/BTC in Granbury.   I am an alumni of Granbury Independent School District!  We moved to Granbury from the Houston area before starting Kindergarten.  I attended Emma Roberson Elementary, Oak Woods Intermediate, the old Granbury Middle School (now the Administration Building), and Granbury High School (Class of 2003).  After graduating from high school, I attended Texas Tech University for Child Psychology.  Wreck 'em Tech!

In 2008, I returned home to Granbury.  Shortly after, I began to work at a residential children's home in Stephenville, Foster's Home for Children.   While there, I worked in Children's Services and the Development departments.  In 2018, I decided to start working in education, and started working at STARS/BTC and GMS.  

My history lies in education.  Both of my parents were educators.  My mother taught at Oak Woods during its very first year!  My father was a coach, which is probably why I enjoy football and baseball as much as I do!  

I have two children, a 7th grader and a Freshman!
