The Hive

We are excited to welcome you all to another exciting school year. Our faculty and staff are here to ensure student learning takes place.

My name is Jose Lopez, and I am honored and excited to serve as the new principal of Alice Johnson Junior High.

It is a privilege to join this incredible school community, and I am truly enthusiastic about beginning my tenure at AJJH. I am deeply passionate about education and committed to working diligently to ensure that every student has access to the very best educational opportunities.

Throughout my 20-year career in education, I have had the opportunity to serve students in

various capacities, including as a teacher, math specialist, assistant principal, and now principal.

My academic background includes a B.A. in Business Administration from the University of

Texas Pan American, a Master of Science in Educational Administration from Lamar University

and I am currently pursuing a Doctoral Degree in Educational Leadership from Lamar

University.

I firmly believe that great schools are built on the foundation of great teachers. At Alice Johnson

Junior High, my primary goal is to support our educators in delivering high-quality, engaging

instruction that meets the needs of every learner. I envision AJJH as a place where all students

are empowered to grow academically, socially, and emotionally in a safe and supportive

environment.

Working together with our dedicated staff, parents, and community members, I am committed to

continuing the tradition of excellence at Alice Johnson Junior High and helping each student

reach their fullest potential.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve the AJJH community. I look forward to getting to know

you and your children as we embark on an exciting new school year. Please feel free to reach out

to me at 281-452-8030 with any questions, ideas, or concerns.

Sincerely,

Jose Lopez

Principal, Alice Johnson Junior High

• September is National Suicide Prevention month. Every year, mental health organizations and individuals raise awareness of suicide prevention. #BeThe1To is the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s message for National Suicide Prevention Month. It helps spread the word about actions we can all take to prevent suicide.

All required Back-To-School forms must be completed in Skyward to ensure a smooth start to the school year.

We appreciate your attention to this important matter and thank you in advance for your continued support in helping us start the year strong.
