He may or may not ever achieve high levels of success as an athlete, but when he instinctively starts cleaning up people’s trash in the bleachers after the game… I can promise he will be a successful human.

House is on the market. I start tomorrow as the new principal at Normangee High School. New journey for my family is bittersweet as we leave such a loving community. Excited for what the future holds and an opportunity to be a part of a very special community in Normangee.

THIS is public ed in Tx. Moving is tough on kids, Rhett’s former teacher, Mrs. Wright, took the time to mail a bday package from his old class. I’m rarely speechless, after seeing him smile, I’m speechless. Thank you

No matter your role, you have chance to add or subtract from a child’s experience in school and the climate and culture of a campus and district. Chief Clary retired after 20 yrs as a state trooper, now he serves NISD everyday with a heart and genuine love for our kids! Thank you
