WELCOME, JUANITA PRIESAND, ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL
My husband, Steve, and I have been married for 19 years. We are the proud parents of two wonderful children: Cole (12) and Bailey (9). Our family life is filled with the excitement and busyness of competitive cheer, competitive hockey, and various extracurricular activities that keep us on our toes.
For the past 17 years, I have had the privilege of working as a teacher, during which time I have held several leadership positions within both the school and district. I am a graduate of Texas A&M-Corpus Christi with a BA in Elementary Ed and a MA in Educational Leadership from California State-Fullerton. I am eager and excited to embark on this new journey and work alongside a great community of students, teachers, and parents.
I look forward to getting to know each of you and collaborating together to create a positive and enriching learning environment for all.
