Vicki Kilpatrick - Principal
I am truly honored to serve as the Principal of Rhodes Elementary. I was born and raised here in San Antonio and am a product of Northside. I received my Bachelors Degree from St. Mary’s University and my Masters Degree from The University of Texas at San Antonio (Go Runners!). This is my 27th year in education, and my 6th year serving as the Principal of Rhodes. I have had the privilege of teaching at different campuses all across this district but I truly believe that Rhodes is such a special campus! I strive to create a learning community where all students are learning at high levels and creating positive experiences for our students and families.Thank you for entrusting me and our staff with your child’s education.

My name is Christopher Sandrin and I am honored to serve as the Associate Principal at Rhodes. I am originally from Southern Illinois where I received degrees in business administration and education from Illinois State University (Go Redbirds!). I was offered the opportunity to do my student teaching in San Antonio. My wife and I loved it so much that we decided to call this place home. I have worked in the district for the past nine years. I began my career at Rhodes Elementary and served as both a third and fourth grade team leader before moving on to become the Administrative Intern at Boone Elementary. I received my Masters in Educational Administration from UTSA. I have a passion for learning and truly believe in constantly improving the mind, body, and soul. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife (Erin), son (Liam), and cat (Floyd). I also enjoy running, music, and travel. I am thrilled to be back as a Raptor and look forward to serving the Rhodes Community!
