My priorities continue to focus on what matters most to students, families, and educators. I will work to maintain the academic excellence AHISD is known for, support and retain outstanding teachers and staff, and ensure responsible stewardship of taxpayer resources. I am also committed to maintaining strong school facilities and ensuring bond-funded improvements and campus projects are delivered on time and within budget.
