Homegrown: Felicia Gates

We are proud of our SWISD graduates and want to share their accomplishments. ‘Homegrown' is our weekly segment highlighting successful Southwest ISD alumni who grew up in the SWISD community. We also look at how SWISD ignited their success, goals, and careers. This week, we hear from Felicia Gates, Assistant Principal at Scobee Middle School.

Ms. Gates enjoys interacting with everyone on her campus. "I look at the school as my entire classroom. I can interact with everybody," Ms. Gates said. Her goals for her students are to be successful in life and to treat others well. "We want them to be successful and go to college. But we also want them to understand how to treat people," Gates said. If you know of alumni who work in the SWISD district that you would like to nominate to participate in this segment, please email Dr. Sam Ruiz at [email protected].
