s_Kathy

I have worked at Towne Creek since 2009. Prior to working at the school I had a 23 year career at the Houston Zoo. I started in the Children's Zoo as a zookeeper and worked my way up to supervisor then eventually Curator of the section. After 17 years, I transferred to the Education Department where I led the Education staff in Zoo programming both on and off site. After leaving the Zoo, I earned my alternative teaching certificate. I contacted Ms. Judy, and she hired me to teach the threes. I am sure I learned as much or more that year than my students! Three-year-olds are amazing! In 2010, I became the director of the school and have been in that position ever since. I love our school, our staff, our students and our families. When I'm not at work I spend time with my friends, my black lab "Rufus", and I travel to Kansas as often as possible to visit my two sons, their wives and my awesome grandsons!

Michelle 2

I am transitioning into the role of Director, as I am absolutely IN LOVE with AND am a lifetime advocate for The Towne Creek School! My journey began here in the 1990s while studying Interdisciplinary Studies, emphasizing Early Childhood Education at U of H. My daily, real-world Towne Creek examples illustrating the model infant-to-preschool environment quickly launched me into the role of Student Board President! That was just the beginning… over the years, I have used my experiences with our daily design here at Towne Creek to develop language programs and shape the practices of educators across 3 districts. Every child in my family circle has attended here, and I am thrilled to return myself—continuing to walk alongside families as we grow the most darling children in all of Texas! I also feel blessed to keep our entire admin team intact, as Ms. Kathy transitions into a part-time consultant position for The Towne Creek School.
