Howdy North Navigators and families,

My name is  Tangy Belland (pronounced tan- gee  bell- and). Welcome back for another amazing year at NES! I am thrilled to begin Year FOUR!!! as a Navigator, QUEST Specialist, NEIL Time Instructor, and Empower Hour Facilitator.   The 2025-26 school year will be the beginning of my 27th year as a Texas Educator and my 6th year in Leander ISD.  I have a passion for working with students to help them to reach their full potential. 

I look forward to continuing my journey at North ES working with gifted and talented students in our QUEST program and helping all of our Navigators to soar to new heights in our NEIL Time . 

A little about me:  I’m originally from Louisiana, Cajun Country, but have lived in Texas since 1999 with my husband and our family. We moved to Central Texas in the middle of the pandemic and are loving every minute.  In my free time, you can find me reading, tending my plants, exploring our new surroundings, cooking, and hunting for vintage furnishings.
