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.
