Dana Gerard
Dana Gerard is the head of school at Lutheran North Academy. I was so privileged to have gotten the opportunity to work at this school and was sad to leave it when my husband got a job in Pennsylvania. Dana and all of my coworkers at Lutheran North were fantastic and helped me grow into the educator that I am today.

Elizabeth Nicklas
Elizabeth Nicklas is the principal at Cinco Ranch Junior High. I could not ask for a more supportive principal. She supported my goals of pursuing art education and had faith that I would be able to tackle the job with a freshly minted Alternative Certification through Texas Teachers. She also gave me the opportunity to teach yearbook, which has become a passion project for me.
