It is an honor to serve the students, staff and parents of North Hi Mount!
Five generations of my family have lived in Fort Worth. In fact, my parents used to live behind Kinkaid’s Hamburgers when they first got married and my grandfather’s first law office was right down the street from North Hi Mount. The craziest thing is that my great grandfather worked in the Thurber Brick factory that made the bricks that make up Camp Bowie’s streets. I say that to let y’all know how invested I am in this school and city. I am so excited to be a part of the Eagle Family!
