Eagle Family,
Respectfully, I am a successfully recognized principal, I have garnered the reputation of being a "turnaround" leader within the schools that I have served as principal for. I am entering my fourth year as an educator on the platform with over 5+ months of experience as a school administrator. Here at DeSoto High School, I have served as a high school teacher/ athletics coach, elementary school teacher/administrator, middle school assistant principal, and a middle school principal all within schools operated under the guidance of the DeSoto Independent School District. As of September 25th, 2018 I will be entering my 4th year as an educator at DeSoto High School.
I strongly believe that my ability to be a strong, effective leader while recognizing and nurturing the importance of my employees makes me an outstanding educator and principal within the DISD Community. I have a heart for making a difference in the lives of our students and I am passionate about effecting change, not only at DeSoto High School but also within the educational community and all around on the Roblox platform. The respect I have earned from teachers, staff, colleagues, and influencers is indicative of my professional approach and inclusive leadership style. I am known for devoting countless hours and giving extensive counts of my time to instruction, leadership, and to the vision of this school.
I am a product of public schools. Subsequently, I have received my D.A.C.E. within Social Studies as well as my D.A.C.E. within School Administration. As the newly appointed Principal for DeSoto High School, I am beyond thrilled to work with all students for the remainder of the semester into our Summer School session. It will be of course challenging, but a fun academic school year for all of our students and employees. I'm looking forward to embracing the current culture of the community, school, and the students that I hold to high levels of achievement. Eagles, as our “Founding Principal” has previously stated “DeSoto High School is not a place where we come to work; it is a place where individuals make dreams happen in real-time. We invite you to step into the doors of DeSoto High School and feel the magic as one walks through the halls of this campus.”
Proud to be your Principal,
Lupe Fiasco
