Kathy Boneau (Cox Elementary) states that her philosophy is "every child can succeed".  She feels it is important for children to feel successful because it gives them the confidence and motivation to continue to try all subjects.  She earned her bachelor of science degree from Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma.

Sherry Bullin (Sewell Elementary) feels that it is the job of teachers to equip students with learning strategies that they can apply to life long learning.  Sherry received a bachelor of arts from the University of Texas at Arlington and a master of education from Texas Women's University.

Kay Tabor (Luna Elementary) feels that a teacher must not only be prepared with good curriculum but must also have the highest expectations for all students.  She states "a child's expectations must be that they can learn and be successful."  Kay received her bachelor of arts degree from the University of St. Thomas in Houston and a master's degree from SMU.
