It is my privilege to serve as the principal of Mary Hull Elementary! My name is Patricia Noriega, and it is with great pride that I share that I am a proud John Jay graduate. Go Mustangs! I am honored to serve in Jay community , and to be given the opportunity to give back to the community that I was raised in. I am in my fourteenth year in educational leadership, and my fourteenth year at Mary Hull. Prior to becoming a principal, I had many experiences including Language Arts Facilitator, Reading Specialist, and Vice principal. Even with this, I'm always a teacher at heart, prior to coming to NISD, I taught for 15 years at Harlandale ISD. My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Education from The University of Texas at San Antonio, a Master Reading Teacher certification from The University of Texas at San Antonio, a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from The University of Texas at San Antonio, and a Principalship certification form Texas A&M Kingsville. I hope to always model lifelong learning and to instill in others that we never stop learning. Learning is a part of life, and we should embrace opportunities that allow us to learn from others.
I am blessed to be the mother of four beautiful children who inspire and motivate me everyday to do my best and to be a leader that strives to ensure that children receive the best education. The journey of parenting children from elementary to college has made me a better leader. The expectations that I have for my own children are the same that I have for every child at Mary Hull. I will love every child like they are mine and I will push them to do well like they are mine . I want the best for them, I want them to excel and become productive human beings, who have ample opportunity to reach their goals and become whoever they want to be when they grow up. This is why it is my privilege to lead Mary Hull Elementary and the many talented teachers and students here!
Kind Regards

Welcome to Mary Hull Elementary! My name is Jennifer Foley-Ventura, and I am honored to serve as Associate Principal. As I begin my fourth year at Mary Hull, I continue to be grateful for the opportunity to work alongside our incredible students, dedicated staff, and supportive families.
With more than 20 years of experience in education, and as a parent myself, I have come to believe that education is, first and foremost, about people. Throughout my career as an Instructional Assistant, Special Education teacher, and administrator, I have learned that every child comes to school with unique strengths, experiences, and needs. Every child deserves to feel safe, valued, challenged, and supported, and every family deserves to feel welcomed, heard, and valued as a partner in their child's education.
I am committed to fostering a positive school culture built on strong relationships, open communication, and collaboration. By working together, we can create an environment where students are excited to learn, teachers have the support they need to do their best work, and families feel connected to our school community.
It is a privilege to be part of the Mary Hull family, and I look forward to another year of learning, growth, and celebration. Thank you for entrusting us with your children. Please don't hesitate to reach out if there is ever a way I can support your family.
