I taught for 16 years in 3 rd grade, and I am in my second-year teaching 2 nd grade. I am a true crime junkie and enjoy watching Dateline, 20/20, and crime documentaries.

Sarah White
Academic Coordinator

Sarah White

During my 15 years of teaching, I have taught every grade from kindergarten-8th, whether it was as a homeroom teacher teaching all subjects, to math in the middle school, to Compass and reading for elementary. I am passionate about helping students love learning and discover ways to learn that meet their needs. I’m a born and raised Midwestern girl who has fallen in love with all things Texas. In my free time, I love puzzles of all kinds! From escape rooms to jigsaw puzzles, piecing together clues to solve a mystery is something I love to do. I also enjoy crocheting and other crafts.
