📢 DISTRICT UPDATE: Superintendent 90 Day Plan📅
As the new Superintendent of La Joya ISD, I firmly believe in the inalienable right of every child to access a world-class education that nurtures their academic, social, and emotional growth and allows them to unleash their fullest potential. This conviction drives my daily efforts and mirrors the passion and dedication that led me to this role.
In La Joya ISD, we embody strength, commitment, and a relentless pursuit of excellence—qualities that drew me here and affirm my purpose in this community. My initial 90-day plan is just the beginning of our collaborative journey. It’s an opportunity for me to immerse myself in your hopes and dreams for our district. Together, we will ensure La Joya ISD remains the preferred choice for families, offering a safe and vibrant environment where every child excels. I am here to earn your trust and lead with integrity, championing our teachers and leaders as we strive towards unprecedented heights of success.
