Mr. Bishop began his career in 2010 as a math teacher and coach at Terrell Wells Middle School. After three years, he broadened his educational experience by becoming a Campus Special Education Coordinator at the same campus. Mr. Bishop then transitioned to administration as an Assistant Principal and Academic Dean, serving in these capacities at Leal Middle School and Terrell Wells Middle School. In the Summer of 2021, Mr. Bishop finally made his way to NISD as an Assistant Principal at Zachry Middle and then became a Bengal in October 2022 as an Associate Principal. Throughout his educational career, Mr. Bishop has sought to build strong positive relationships with his students, their families, and colleagues to create a family environment where students can thrive.
Mr. Bishop’s choice to pursue a career in education stemmed from growing up in a family of educators. His parents were school administrators who instilled a sense of service in Mr. Bishop at an early age. Through their support, guidance, and his own experiences, Mr. Bishop crafted his current philosophy for educating our future leaders: Students need to be loved, heard, and respected as individuals. They need guidance and grace as they grow into their future selves. Parents need to feel connected in partnership with the school to provide their children with the best educational support system. As a staff, the focus is on fostering an inclusive and nurturing environment that encourages curiosity and critical thinking. This approach aims to empower students to excel academically and develop essential life skills. Through open communication and a shared commitment to lifelong learning, the staff works collectively to shape well-rounded individuals who are prepared to face the challenges of tomorrow with confidence and resilience.
As Mr. Bishop strives to continue to inspire growth and innovation, he wants his legacy as an educator to leave an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of countless students and colleagues alike.
The Associate Principal also serves as the Campus Behavior Coordinator. They can be reached by email at nicole.gomez@nisd.net or by phone at 210 398-1115.
