Principal, Jennifer DeAnda
Hello Friends and Families of HES,
Let me first say how blessed I am to be the principal of Hooks Elementary. Over the last two years I have been able to experience many of the great things Hooks ISD has to offer, as an assistant principal. As I move into the principal role, I look forward to a great, successful year.
My education includes a bachelors degree from the University of Nebraska at Kearney and a masters degree from West Texas A&M University. I have spent the majority of my life in the Texas Panhandle near Amarillo. Now, my family and I enjoy the great area of East Texas in Hooks. I have been in education for over 20 years. I was a teacher for many of those years, serving students at all levels and have served in administration for the last few years.
In addition I have three children, all of which attend Hooks ISD. If I have any spare time, I enjoy scrap-booking/crafts, yoga and supporting my kids’ activities.
It is my honor to work in education and serve others. For as long as I can remember this has been my calling. I have a passion for leadership and education, life-long learning, and a desire to make a difference in students’ lives.
Again, welcome to HES and I look forward to a partnership with you in education.
