Wendell Handley
Monahans,TX
Summary
I have 27 years of experience in secondary education including the last six years as a High School Assistant Principal . Although I thoroughly enjoyed the coaching and the competitive atmosphere associated with athletic programs, I knew I wanted to play a role on the leadership team for our campus. Now, I am excited about the possibility of becoming part of your Administrator team at Smithville High School. I believe there are no short cuts to success, and hard work always pays off. I teach integrity and character to our students; and regardless of our students' plans after high school, they have to prepare for it. I look forward to an opportunity to meet with you to discuss this opportunity. I promise you, as part of the leadership team, I will work hard each and every day to implement and enhance the culture and vision desired at SHS.
