Taylor High School’s leader heads to a new pond in the fall.
On May 19, Principal Andrew Maddox was announced as the new incoming principal of Jarrell High School. He was unanimously approved by Jarrell Independent School District’s school board.
“I believe in academic excellence, providing a supportive teaching environment, and a spirit of genuine community among staff and the student population,” said Maddox. ”I’m excited about the present and future opportunities at Jarrell High School. I can’t wait to get to work”
Maddox joined Taylor ISD in 2015 after he was associate principal at Georgetown High School. His educational roots started in Colorado when he received his undergraduate degree from Adams State University and his master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from the University of Northern Colorado.
He leaves Taylor ISD after 30 years in education as a principal, assistant principal, coach and teacher. His first job was as a technology education teacher.
Shortly after he started at Taylor, he said he became a principal because he believes he can improve the quality of education for more students as an administrator. He wanted the community to know that the faculty and staff at Taylor High School strives to value the quality of relationship for all in the school community.
“Mr. Maddox is a proven educator and an enthusiastic leader who will foster exceptional experiences for our students, families, and staff,” said Superintendent Toni Hicks, Jarrell ISD. “He is a terrific addition to our Cougar family.”
