At a special meeting last night, the Angleton ISD Board of Trustees approved the hire of Dr. Terri Benson as the new head principal of Angleton High School. “Dr. Benson has a strong instructional background and brings with her 22 years of experience as an educator and administrator,” AISD Superintendent Phil Edwards said. “We are excited to have her join the A-Team and know she will do a phenomenal job leading our high school.” One of Dr. Benson’s strengths lies in her belief that collaboration is significant in the decision-making process. “I believe that every stakeholder deserves a voice in decision-making; it is the thing I value most as a leader,” Benson said. “My personal goal is to provide leadership to achieve academic success for all students by supporting and implementing the priorities of the Angleton ISD community and by fostering a collaborative environment to produce successful and responsible students while maintaining the strong traditions Angleton is known for.” Benson comes from Conroe ISD, where she has served a total of 15 years in administrative roles for the district, with her latest as head principal of Caney Creek High School for the past two years. Prior to that, Benson was the Headmaster of the Academy for Science and Health Professions in CISD for three years and served as an associate principal in CISD for six years and assistant principal for another four years. She is also an active member of the Texas Association of Secondary School Principals, where she currently serves as the Vice Chair of the Legislative Committee and former Chair.

Last week at Angleton Junior High, 8th grade swimmers made a splash in the most meaningful way — by honoring the educators who have made a lasting impact on their journey.

It was a heartfelt way to say thank you to those who have helped shape not just their success in the pool, but in life. To our incredible educators — your influence goes far beyond the classroom, and our swimmers are better for it.
