Independent School District has been home to Mrs. Mantle for many years. As a child she
attended all NISD schools from Kindergarten through High School, graduating from John
Marshall High School. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Texas at
San Antonio in Interdisciplinary Studies.
Mrs. Mantle began her teaching career at Shirley J. Howsman Elementary, in NISD, as a Second Grade
teacher and later a Fifth Grade Teacher. During this time she enrolled in the Master’s program at UTSA
and obtained a Master’s Degree in Education. In 2008, Mrs. Mantle was named the Vice Principal of
Christian Evers Elementary. She served the Evers community for six year.
Mrs. Mantle believes building positive relationships creates an environment where children feel safe,
supported and connected to their learning. She values being part of a team that works to inspire all of
the students to learn and grow every day.
Mrs. Mantle has been married for 31 years, has two daughters, and a sweet puppy she calls, Duffy. She
enjoys gardening and doing things with her family during her free time.
Forester Dragons, once a dragon always a dragon!
