My name is Susan Nall and this is my fifteenth year in the Birdville district, and my sixth year as an Assistant Principal. I feel blessed to be part of the I thought I would take this opportunity to tell you a little bit about me. I graduated from Stephen F. Austin and taught 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade for nine years. During that time, I attended TCU and obtained my Master’s in Administration. Even though I absolutely loved the classroom, I decided to take a position in Administration when it was offered to me. It has been a great choice, and I know that I will learn all the things I need to from my administrative leaders which will help me reach my goal of becoming a principal one day. When I am not at school, I love to shop, read, and go to the movies. I live in I feel honored to be a part of such a wonderful staff, parents, and students. This is going to be a fantastic year, and I hope to get to know you and your family better. Please feel free to contact me if you ever have any questions or concerns.
