I am a native Houstonian and graduated from Milby High School in 1970. Upon graduation, I attended San Jacinto Junior College for a year before transferring to Stephen F. Austin. While at SFA I studied Health and Physical Education and earned my Bachelor of Science Degree. In 1977 I was hired to teach and coach at Friendswood Junior High. After teaching at FJH I went to Friendswood High where I became the head boy's basketball coach. I completed my Masters of Science in 1989 and went to Alvin High School as an assistant principal. I was later named Principal in 1993. In 1998 I moved my family to Grapevine, Texas to become the Principal of Grapevine High School. After 7 great years at GHS, I retired to help care for my ailing father and enter the consulting world.

While I was at SFA I met a wonderful young lady named Trisha who was also entering the field of education. We married in 1975 and have been blessed with 2 sons, Dustin (26) and Cody (23). Trisha taught for many years in Pearland ISD and Friendswood ISD before we moved to Grapevine. She finished her teaching career this year and is enjoying working part time. My sons and I enjoy sports of all kinds and spend many days in the woods hunting deer and hogs.

Coming back to Friendswood is just a great experience for our entire family and we look forward to many successful years. ~Dana Drew
