Mrs. Johnson

I graduated from UTSA. After graduation I taught 5th grade math and science in Frisco, TX for five years. 

I then moved to Seguin, TX where I taught kindergarten and then 3rd grade math and science. 

Then, I finally moved my family back home to San Antonio and joined the Powell family. I enjoy spending time outside with my two dogs. 

I have a 3 year old son and am currently a baby girl that recently joined the family. 

I love watching sports, Go Steelers and Go Spurs!

Ms. Pena

I graduated from University of Texas at San Antonio in  2025 with BA in Equity & Education EC-6 with an ESL Certification.

I am a product of NISD and graduated from Warren High School.

I’ve lived in San Antonio for most of my life and I love it. 

Fun Fact: I am ambidextrous & I love capybaras.

We will provide an equitable and loving environment for our Thunderbirds; while not only teaching academics, but also teaching social and emotional lifelong skills to better prepare them for a successful future.
