I believe our continued growth is more powerful when we: endeavor to love all of our young ones; assure continuity of respect from parents to teachers to students; and build upon our rich historic foundation toward an even more integrity-fortified tomorrow.
Should I have the opportunity to serve the residents of Katy, I intend to: 1) Honor the foresight and traditions of our rich history with an unswerving focus on high expectations for current and future student growth and improvement, and educator professional development; Having earned an engineering degree from Tuskegee University in Alabama and an MBA from The University of Michigan-Dearborn, I will fulfill my duties of this role with a keen appreciation for education, a culture of fiscal and moral integrity, and an unswerving conviction that we do what is in the best interest of our beloved children, so we remain Young at Heart.[4] |
