Welcome to the beginning of the 2021-2022 school year at Chapel Hill Academy!

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I write this message of introduction to you as the new Principal of Chapel Hill Academy. I am truly honored to join the Chapel Hill Community, which has already given me a warm welcome.

I have been dedicated to the field of education for more than 26 years working with secondary students. My most recent administrative has been as a successful Assistant Principal in Duncanville ISD and Cedar Hill ISD. I also served in Fort Worth ISD for over 18 years.

As we begin the school year, I want you to know that I intend to keep you well informed through out the school year. A strong partnership between parents and staff is crucial to student success. On Sunday evening you will receive an email from me with the goal of preparing you for the upcoming weeks and making sure you are aware of school happenings.

We will spend the first two weeks of school assessing students in Reading and Math while focusing on routines, procedures, social and emotional learning. Our campus goal is to close the academic gaps and chart student growth.

Our theme for the 2021-2022 school year is "It takes a village."

It takes a village to raise a child is an African proverb that means that an entire community of people must provide for and interact positively with children for those children to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment.

Again, I look forward to partnering with you this year.

Respectfully,

Paula K. Woods
