I moved to Tejeda Middle School as the Special Education Campus Coordinator in 2011 and transitioned to an assistant principal at Tejeda in 2014. In 2015, I served as an assistant principal at Reagan High School prior to being named the proud principal of Lopez Middle School in August of 2020. I am a father of 3 children who all attend NEISD schools. I am supported by my wonderful wife of 20 years. I look forward to working with you and your students in the future.

Mrs. Damaris Gutierrez, Asst. Principal (Curriculum)

I am very excited to be joining the LEE school and community! I started my teaching career in Edcouch Elsa ISD in 2010. I have served as an elementary science teacher, elementary newcomer ESL teacher, middle school ELA teacher, middle school ESL teacher, and an ESL program coordinator. I have had the opportunity to serve in central office for 4 years as an Elementary Instructional Support Teacher and an Elementary Bilingual ESL Specialist.

As I begin my administrative journey in high school, I am excited to support our school community! My educational background and advocacy experience has prepared me to create a joyous learning environment for all students. I earned my undergraduate and master’s degree from the University of Texas at San Antonio. In 2022, I earned my second master’s degree in Educational Leadership. One of my proudest educational achievements was in 2017 when I became a National Board Certified Teacher in English as a New Language.

My husband and I are proud North East ISD parents to 3 children and we are a soccer family!

Thank you for welcoming me into the LEE community!
