Dear Peñasco Students, Families, Staff, and Community Members,
It is an honor to serve as the Superintendent of Peñasco Independent School District. As I begin my sixth year serving the Peñasco community and my third year as superintendent, I remain inspired by the dedication of our students, staff, families, and community.
With more than 23 years in education and over a decade in leadership, I believe student success is built through strong relationships, high expectations, open communication, and transparency. Every decision we make is centered on ensuring that every student is prepared to succeed in school, career, and life.
Together, we will continue to strengthen academic achievement, expand opportunities, and foster safe, inclusive schools where every student is valued, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential. By working collaboratively, communicating openly, and honoring both innovation and tradition, we will continue moving Peñasco Independent School District forward.
Thank you for your trust, partnership, and continued support. I look forward to another exceptional year as we work together to provide every Peñasco student with the opportunities they deserve.
With gratitude,
Michelle Gonzales
Superintendent
Peñasco Independent School District
