I am excited and honored to lead and serve our Panther Community.
My career spans 15 years in education, but it did not start there. I am a true Northside product having attended Ed Cody ES, Pease MS, and John Jay High School.
Shortly after graduating from John Jay High School, I attended UT-San Antonio where I earned my Bachelors in Interdisciplinary Studies. After 10 years teaching elementary students in 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade, I decided to pursue a career in administration at UTSA where I earned my Masters in Educational Leadership in 2018.
Along the way, I have been fortunate to assist in the opening of four Northside elementary campuses in Langley, Lieck, Boldt, and Tomlinson. I have also served at Mead and McDermott Elementary in leadership capacities. It was at Boldt Elementary where I met my beautiful wife, Edna, and she has been my number one supporter and cheerleader throughout my career.
Being of service to 6 elementary schools throughout the years, I have observed that while there are many differences in communities, they all share one thing in common. It really is all about the kids no matter where we go in Northside ISD, and I am happy to serve and ensure every student receives a strong, quality education as I did here in Northside.
It is my great pleasure to work alongside our Passmore staff, students, families and community businesses in order for our children to thrive both academically and socially. I want to work with you every day to preserve the culture of this beautiful community.
I am excited to embark on this journey with you all, and grateful for the opportunity to lead alongside our very passionate Panther family.
The Associate Principal also serves as the Campus Behavior Coordinator. They can be reached by email at elleana.soloman@nisd.net or by phone at 210-307-0514.
I am excited to be the joining the Passmore team as Associate Principal.
I began my career in Northside in 1996 and have had the opportunity to work at many wonderful campuses. During my time in NISD, I was an instructional assistant at Carlos Coon, Adams Hill and Leon Valley, I taught 2nd and 4th grade and Raba and Burke, served as a campus science specialist, and worked at the district level in the elementary curriculum and instruction department. While working at central office, I realized how much I missed working directly with students and teachers, so I decided to return to a campus as an administrator. I spent one year as an admin intern at Mead ES before moving to Valley Hi as the Associate Principal. I am elated to join the Panther family and I am looking forward to being part of this wonderful community!
I am a San Antonio native. I am married and we have one daughter who attends a Northside middle school. During our free time, we love to spend time at the pool or beach, visit our family in Iowa, and travel to new places.
I believe that students learn best when they feel safe and loved, so my goal is to help provide a loving environment for our students and families. I am here to support you, so please reach out if you ever have questions or suggestions.
