Meet the Assistant Principal

Shenia Brass

Hello Coyote Family! My name is Shenia Brass, and I am excited to begin a fantastic school year as your new Assistant Principal! Throughout my 16-year journey in education, I worked as an Instructional Coach in Hurst Euless Bedford (HEB) ISD where I helped launch Leading Through Exemplary Practices (LTEP) in which my campus was recognized by the Education Resource Group (ERG) for its continuous improvement practices as well recognized by the Education Results Partnership for closing the achievement gaps, particularly among higher-poverty and historically-disadvantaged student populations. I was also a Reading Instructional Coach in Fort Worth ISD and taught second and third grade.

This year, I look forward to partnering with students, parents and staff to help all learners advance to the next level of success!
