Our students are amazing!! They laugh, love to socialize, work hard, learn, aim to please, and want to be your friend. Learning far more about life from my students than I will ever be able to teach them, I am genuinely transformed. You are invited to visit or work with our amazing students. Your life will be changed forever.
One key to our student success is to provide opportunities for social events including dances. These events are sponsored by Student Counsel, Teen Leadership, Student Aides, Cheerleaders, Partners in PE and Student Athletes. We are blessed by the involvement and caring of other students.
About me
This is my 18th year teaching, and I will be starting my 13th year as a Life Skill's teacher. I have 2 sons. My oldest, 25, is a Construction Assistant Superintendent who only specializes in school district new constructions as well as renovations. My youngest son, 21, is finishing up basic study at a local community college in Waco and will begin study at Baylor University for Sports Marketing. I also have a married daughter, 26, who starts her first year as a certified Functional Academics teacher within Burleson ISD. I have 2 granddaughters, Berkleigh and Emersyn who are the love of my life. I have 2 are Chiweenies named Jax and Nikki and 2 registered miniature dachshunds named Bonnie and Cooper. I also have 1 heavenly Chiweenie puppy who passed away 1/6/23 named Bella. I have been married to Misty, a fourth grade Math teacher at Caddo Elementary, for 15 years, and a wonderful mother in law who lives with us. My mother, a retired administrator from Southlake Carroll and former educator of more than 30 years, lives in Hurst. We are blest to be geographically close and the time together is always precious.
The very purpose of family is to maintain growth and well-being of its members by providing predictability, structure and safety. The Life Skills classroom is designed to operate just like a family because we are family. All are accepted as they are as we collectively work with one another to assist them to adapt and tolerate a multitude of settings.
