Welcome to my Wildcat Homepage.  It is a pleasure to be a Wildcat and a great opportunity to help young people make their way through the educational process.  At Splendora High School, our students have some of the very best oppourtunities for a top rate education that can be found anywhere in our region.

I really believe that our students are the best and they deserve the best that Splendora ISD has to offer.  One of the many complex issues of public school is how to balance the needs of students, their interest, their desires, and educationaly what is best.  One of the ways to meet this balance issue is to make certain that our students are not just a number, but to make certain that we build a relationship with each of our students.

For the 2009-2010 school, we have implemented a new program with our administrative team.  In the past we had assistant principals and counselors.  This year those positions do not exist.  We have combined the elements of those two positions into a role that is titled "Dean of Student Services".  This position will allow an administrator to work more directly with a smaller group of students which will allow us to create a more personal working relationship with our students. 

So, to make it short, as a Dean of Students, we are the assistant principal, counselor, college advisor, and many other things for each of our students.  No longer will a student have to see a number of different administrators to help them out.  We are excited about the change and look forward to serving every Wildcat here at Splendora High School.
