Dr. Erin McKinney

Academic Dean

It is a true honor to serve the students and community of O’Connor High School. I believe every student deserves a high quality education and will rise to the expectations set for them when they are connected with opportunities and support. As a graduate of NISD, I attended Locke Hill Elementary School, Hobby Middle School, and Clark High School. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Texas State University, a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from UTSA, and a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from UTSA (Go Runners!). I started my educational career as a math and science teacher and department coordinator prior to moving into school administration where I have served as an Assistant Principal and Academic Dean. Most recently, I have spent the past three years as a Leadership Development Specialist for Northside ISD supporting middle and high school administrators across the district. My husband and I both live and work in the Helotes area and we are so thankful for the opportunity to give back to the community that gives us such a wonderful place to raise our three children who are 3, 4, and 6 years old.
