It is my pleasure to announce Ms. Julissa Alcantar-Martinez as the new principal of Davis High School. Ms. Alcantar-Martinez comes to us from Galena Park ISD where she is currently the principal of both Woodland Acres Elementary and Woodland Acres Middle School. Prior to the addition of responsibility for the elementary school she was principal of the middle school for three years.  She had an additional five years principal and assistant principal experience in Galena Park. Her teaching career, as an ELA teacher, started at the American school in Puebla, Mexico, an IB K-12 school. She moved from Mexico to Edgewood ISD in San Antonio, where she stayed six years.

Ms. Alcantar-Martinez has been, for the last two years, a state semi-finalist for the HEB Principal of the Year title.
