🏴☠️ Happy National Assistant Principals Week! 🏴☠️
This week we celebrate the leaders who keep our campuses running, support our teachers, encourage our students, and somehow juggle a hundred things before lunch.

Thank you for your leadership and the countless ways you support our school community. We appreciate you this week and every week! 💚💛⚓

📣Teacher Talks Tuesday
This week we’re featuring Junior High math teacher Mrs. Pamela Savoie! From building confidence in the classroom to creating a family-like atmosphere on campus, Mrs. Savoie brings heart, humor, and encouragement to her students every single day. Let’s get to know her a little better 💚💛
What is your teaching philosophy?
Answering “what is your teaching philosophy?” is always a hard one. I’m not sure I have a teaching philosophy, but a passion. I have a passion for students to know the love of Jesus through teaching math—by the way I respond to them, the way I love them, the way I speak to them, and the way I show them hard work. All wrapped into that, they get to learn a little bit (or a lot a bit!) of math at the same time. My passion is for my students to feel loved and seen when they walk out the door. ✨
What’s your favorite ‘lightbulb moment’ you see in students?
I love when students finally feel comfortable enough to ask math questions 💡
What do you love about teaching at ECISD?
I love the community at ECJH because it feels like a family. We support and encourage each other in and out of the classroom… and the ice machine in the lounge is a sweet little bonus 🧊😄
We’re so thankful for the passion and care Mrs. Savoie pours into her students and our ECJH family. Thank you for helping students feel seen, supported, and confident—one math lesson at a time! 💚💛

🌟 Teacher Talks Tuesday: Noah DeMoss, 6th Grade Social Studies & Junior High Coach 🌟
In Coach DeMoss’s classroom, history is more than dates and events. It’s about connection, belonging, and helping students see how everything fits together (with a few life lessons mixed in along the way).
📚 Teaching Philosophy
“My philosophy for teaching has always been to make the kids want to be in your classroom. I want my students to enjoy being in my class. History is not always the most flashy or fun subject (especially for 6th graders), but if they are somewhere where they feel comfortable, where they can truly be who they want to be, then I can get to them. The connections I make with my students is my favorite part of being a teacher. Doing things that only take 1% effort like asking them how they are doing when they look down, or writing a sticky note with encouraging words can go a long way. I know that in 10 years maybe they won't remember all the things we talked about in my class (I hope that they do), but I know they will remember how they felt, and the experiences they had when they came to my class, so I strive to make those moments ones they will look back on fondly.”
💡 Favorite Lightbulb Moment
“My favorite ‘lightbulb’ moment in my class is when the kids can finally connect all the dots. History is full of events that are connected to each other one way or another and when the kids are able to start seeing and making those connections on their own, there is nothing more satisfying than that. For them to be able to see the cause and effect of something and how it connects to something we have talked about before really brings a smile to my face.”
🏫 Teaching at ECISD
“What don’t I love about EC? I love this place, it is my alma mater and has been my home for my entire life. I loved my teachers and coaches growing up, and I love them now as my colleagues. I love the community, which has always been so tight knit and supportive of each other, and I love the kids who are the best around and never cease to make my day. Being here has always been my goal and I couldn’t ask for a better school district to be a part of.”
💚💛 From building relationships to helping students connect the dots, Coach DeMoss is creating a classroom where students feel valued and where learning truly sticks.
