My name is Tisha Jones, and I’m super excited to be Kennedy Elementary new building principal. I have been a part of the Alief family for 22 years—an alumna of Sam Houston State University and the University of Houston-Clear Lake. My career began with a strong foundation in the classroom at Boone Elementary, teaching Pre-K - 4th grade and the AIMS gifted and talented program. My passion for literacy and learning propelled me to Hicks Elementary as an ELAR Instructional Specialist. I have served as an assistant principal at Chambers and Horn Elementary. My philosophy is that quality education grows from a positive school environment, which is the key to a progressive community of lifelong learners. I hope to inspire others, show servant leadership, promote positive interactions with all stakeholders, and increase teacher and student capacity as leaders.
