Dear Families,
I’m so excited for a new year here at Herrington Elementary. I know your child means the world to you, and I don’t take it lightly that they are in my classroom. I promise to guide and encourage them to being the best they can be.
I am beginning my 16th year of teaching! I have taught 1st, 2nd and 4th grades. The last 13 years, I have been teaching 1st grade and I love it! I am certified for special education and Early Childhood-6th grade. I am also TAG and ESL certified. I have a masters degree in Educational Admininastration from Angelo State University.
I have lived in Round Rock since I was 5 years old. I attended Robertson Elementary, CD Fulkes Middle School and Round Rock High School. I played soccer growing up and was able to fulfill a childhood dream by playing in college. I attended Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, TX. I went back to school a few years ago and I received my Masters degree in Educational Administration from Angelo State University.
I married the love of my life, Lauren and we have 3 beautiful daughters! Lindsey is 22 years old, she lives and works as a dental assistant in Gulf Port, Mississippi. Kayla is 20 years old and is a junior at Texas A&M Univerisity where she is an Animal Science major. Haley is 18 years old and is headed off to Howard Payne University where she will be majoring in Education and playing soccer for the Lady Yellow Jackets!
I enjoy spending time with my family, running, and pretty much any other outdoor activity. I just started playing golf....well, playing is a stretch, I sometimes hit the ball in the right direction. This is something new I'm trying and so far it has been a lot of fun.
I’m looking forward to an exciting year filled with learning and developing relationships.
If you have any questions please call 512-704-1939 or send me an email.
Sincerely,
Mr. Gordon
