My name is Brandy Shoemake, and I am proud to be entering my 12th year in education and my first year as Associate Principal at Michael Elementary. It’s been a joy to be a part of the Michael family for 11 years as a previous 5th grade teacher, instructional coach, and math specialist. I am excited for a year of learning, growth, and community partnership. In addition to serving as Associate Principal, I also serve as the Campus Behavior Coordinator.
I earned my Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A&M University – San Antonio, and later earned my Master’s in Educational Leadership from the Texas A&M International University- Laredo.
I’m looking forward to an incredible school year ahead. It is my goal that every student at Michael Elementary has an education full of engaging activities that provide growth in their academics and their social emotional development. I can’t wait to continue working with the students, families, and the community that make Michael such a special place. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, comments, or concerns.
