VIsionary LEadership
Our administrative team, teachers, and staff are here to provide a positive learning environment that engages, mentors, and motivates students to excel as successful lifelong learners.
At Castleberry High School, you will find students who are equipped with the digital skills they need to meet and exceed their learning goals.
Our teachers engage in an ongoing process to develop, implement, and communicate technology-infused strategic plans aligned with a shared vision for student success. I had the opportunity in June of 2016 to present at the Texas ASCD Ignite Conference a session titled 'How to Measure the New Blooms Digital Taxonomy in the Classroom. The presentation can be viewed below:
