Important Update: High School Mathematics Teacher
Dear YWA Families,
I want to share an important update regarding our high school mathematics classes.
Mrs. Keyson has accepted a position at Franklin High School that allows her to be closer to home and family. While we are sad to see her go, we are grateful for her time with our Warriors and the relationships she has built with our students and families. Mrs. Keyson shared how much she will miss her students and expressed her appreciation for the warmth and support she received from our YWA community. We wish her and her family nothing but the best.
I am happy to welcome Mr. David Gonzales, who will officially join our YWA team on Tuesday, October 27, as our new high school mathematics teacher of record.
Mr. Gonzales brings 11 years of experience in education, all dedicated to teaching high school mathematics. He has taught at both Andress and Franklin High Schools here in EPISD, and we are happy to have an experienced mathematics teacher joining our Warrior family.
Our Instructional Lead Teacher, Mrs. Woods, will work closely with Mr. Gonzales to support instructional planning, curriculum alignment, and a smooth transition for our students. Mr. Carlos Gomez, our Assistant Principal who oversees mathematics, will also be available to address any questions or concerns regarding your daughter's mathematics class.
As part of this transition, our instructional leadership team will review student progress and identify any areas where additional academic support may be needed.
I understand that a change in teachers can bring questions, especially in courses as important as mathematics. Please know that our priority remains the same: providing our girls with strong instruction, consistency, and the support they need to be successful.
Thank you for your continued trust and support as we welcome Mr. Gonzales to YWA.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Arias
Proud YWA Principal
