Elementary Principal's Message

Hello All!


It is my great pleasure to be the elementary principal at Rising Star ISD. I have been a lifelong Wildcat and truly bleed blue and gold. It is my mission as the elementary principal that all students who walk through our front door are loved and appreciated. Our goal is that all students will receive the same opportunity for a high-quality education while they attend Rising Star Elementary. I want our students to strive to be the best at whatever they participate in from academics to athletics. We will provide our students the foundation that will take them to high places later on in life. I want all to know that my door is always open, and I am always open to hearing out concerns or ideas that will improve our campus.


My daily motto is “Every day is a good day, just some days are better than others.”. That is what we want your children to feel when they walk through our front door every morning. It is always a good day to be a Wildcat!
