Welcome, Hope Huskies!

I hope you enjoyed the summer days and the time with your family and friends. We are excited about the upcoming school year and seeing our Hope Huskies!

I am the proud principal of Hope Elementary and am blessed to serve our school community for the fourth year! I have served in Education for 22 years and in Conroe ISD as principal, assistant principal, and district instructional coach since 2010. Prior to CISD, I taught in Hudson ISD in East Texas and graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University.

I am a proud mom of two children, my husband serves as a police officer in our area, and we enjoy snuggles from our Boston Terrier. While I grew up in the Southeast Texas area, Conroe has been home for more than 16 years. I love our Caney Creek feeder and Conroe community!

My professional passion is to ensure all students learn and grow at high levels and become successful citizens who proudly represent our community. We want each of our students to do their best and achieve their goals, and each parent to know they are welcome in our school and to be connected for our community. We will loudly celebrate growth, proudly highlight achievements, and support each student along their journey! We are Husky and Panther Proud!

Our Hope Elementary Vision is for our Huskies to be:

H- Helpful
U- Understanding
S- Smart
K- Kind
I- Imaginative
E- Eager
S- Successful
