Preparing the Driggers Hounds of today to be the leaders of tomorrow.
I began my career as a 1st and 2nd grade Bilingual/Dual Language Teacher in my hometown of Progreso, Texas. With a long-standing admiration for San Antonio, I joined the Northside Independent School District in 2002 as a 5th grade Bilingual Teacher at Powell Elementary. Later, I transitioned to Esparza Elementary, where I served as a Math Specialist. I then became an Administrative Intern at Glenoaks Elementary. In 2017, I joined Fisher Elementary as their Associate Principal.
My educational background includes a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and Bilingual Education from the University of Texas Pan American and a Master’s Degree in Bilingual and Bicultural Studies with a focus on Gifted and Talented Students. In 2014, I received a degree in School Administration from Concordia University.
My belief in student-centered learning and the power of collaboration and equity has always guided my journey in education. I am committed to creating an environment where every student feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential. I am a firm believer in building a strong school/home partnership, which is essential to the education of our students. My vision is that at Driggers Elementary, every child is inspired to achieve their best by fostering a culture of kindness, respect, and curiosity where students are excited to learn.
I have a very supportive husband, Ken, who worked and retired from NISD. We have two amazing sons, Kenny, who graduated from Brandeis High School and then from Northwest Vista College, and Daniel, who is a Senior at Brandeis HS.
It is my privilege to lead Rita Kay Driggers Elementary and work with talented and hard-working teachers, staff and students. I believe that a great school is built on a foundation of trust, respect, and open communication, and I am eager to hear your perspectives, ideas, and aspirations for our school. Together, we can set high expectations for our students, foster a culture of kindness and respect, and ensure that Driggers Elementary remains a place where students, staff, and families feel a sense of belonging and pride.
The Associate Principal also serves as the Campus Behavior Coordinator. They can be reached by email at [email protected] or by phone at (210) 397-5915.
I am honored to serve as the Associate Principal at Rita Kay Driggers Elementary, where I am deeply committed to fostering a supportive and inspiring learning environment for all students.
My journey in education began with Northside ISD as a teacher at Lewis Elementary, where I taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade. I later transitioned into leadership as an Administrative Intern at Cole Elementary, and in 2023, I was proud to step into my current role at Driggers.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies and a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Texas at San Antonio. Throughout my career, I have been guided by a passion for student-centered learning, collaboration, and equity. I believe that when students feel valued and supported, they are empowered to reach their full potential.
Building strong partnerships between school and home is essential to student success. My vision for Driggers Elementary is to cultivate a culture of kindness, respect, and curiosity—where students are excited to learn and grow.
Beyond my work in education, I cherish time with my supportive family—my husband, Jason, and our two sons, Caleb and Nathan, and our fur baby Bo. Caleb and Nathan are both graduates of Harlan High School, they are now pursuing degrees in Construction Management and Cybersecurity.
It is a privilege to work alongside the dedicated teachers, staff, students, and families of Driggers Elementary. I believe that a great school is built on trust, respect, and open communication, and I look forward to collaborating with our school community to create an environment where everyone feels a sense of belonging and pride.
