Wendi Autumn Peralta - Principal
With over 18 years of dedicated experience in education, I currently serve as the principal at Straus Middle School. My journey in the educational field began as a General Education Teacher in English Language Arts (ELA), followed by roles as a Reading Specialist, Department Coordinator in ELA, and an Intervention Specialist. I hold a Bachelor's degree from the University of Incarnate Word, a Master's degree in Reading and Literacy from UTSA, and a Principal Certification from Lamar University.
My passion lies in fostering a nurturing and supportive environment for both students and staff, focusing on building strong, meaningful relationships. I believe in the power of empathy and understanding in addressing the unique behaviors and needs of middle school students. My goal is to create a school atmosphere where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to achieve their best.
