Principal Information

Priscilla Alfaro

 

Priscilla Alfaro is deeply humbled and excited to lead Young Women’s Leadership Academy. She is a product of the community, attending SAISD K-8 schools before having the opportunity to engage in single gender education as a graduate of Providence High School.

She went on to earn a B.S. in Secondary Education from Harris Stowe State University in St. Louis and a M.S. in Educational Leadership from Texas A&M University in San Antonio. She has spent the last 14 years in various educational roles starting as a high school science teacher before taking on many positions leading to her principalship at Karen Wagner High School. Her most recent role is the Director of Secondary Education in Judson ISD where she oversees curricula for all middle and high school campuses across the district.

She feels every experience has made her ready to serve at Young Women’s Leadership Academy and be the leader her students, staff, parents, and community partners deserve. Her passion is increasing equitable outcomes for students in areas they are underrepresented and ensuring a school culture of inclusivity and high expectations.

While Mrs. Alfaro considers all her students her “kids”, she does have three of her very own along with a supportive husband which has allowed her to pursue her own dreams while working to balance motherhood with a career in education.

Priscilla Alfaro se siente profundamente honrada y emocionada de dirigir Young Women's Leadership Academy. Ella es un producto de la comunidad, asistiendo a las escuelas SAISD K-8 antes de tener la oportunidad de participar en la educación de un solo género como graduada de Providence High School.

Posteriormente obtuvo una licenciatura en Estudios Secundarios por Harris Stowe State University, en St. Louis, y una maestría en Liderazgo Educativo por Texas A&M University, en San Antonio. Ha pasado los últimos 14 años desempeñando diversas funciones educativas, empezando como maestra de ciencias en una preparatoria antes de asumir muchos cargos que la llevaron a ser directora de Karen Wagner High School. Su cargo más reciente es el de directora de Estudios Secundarios en Judson ISD, donde superviso los planes de estudio de todas las secundarias y preparatorias del distrito.

Siente que cada experiencia la ha preparado para servir en Young Women's Leadership Academy y ser la líder que sus estudiantes, personal, padres y socios de la comunidad merecen. Su pasión es aumentar los resultados equitativos de los estudiantes en áreas en las que están infrarrepresentados y garantizar una cultura escolar de inclusión y altas expectativas.

Aunque la Sra. Alfaro considera a todos sus estudiantes sus "hijos", tiene tres propios y un marido que la apoya, lo que le ha permitido perseguir sus propios sueños mientras trabaja para equilibrar la maternidad con una carrera en la educación.
