Craig Black is the principal at Spearman Junior High (SJH). He is serving his third year as SJH principal and was the assistant principal at SJH before moving into the principal position.
Black shared some wisdom,” Your integrity matters. You can be the smartest student in school, but the character traits that you possess will outweigh any of your academic skills to be successful.”
An interesting fact about Black is he played college football for Angelo State University. One may wonder if his overall athletic talent comes from his hidden talent of being right handed and left footed, which is very rare!
A great day for Black is when all students are engaged in learning at school. “Seeing smiles on the student's faces as they walk the halls and seeing students helping each other out in times of need make for a great day,” commented Black.

Alexis Beck is the Gus Birdwell Elementary principal. She has served in the role of principal for five years and two years prior as the assistant principal.
“The best thing about being a principal is watching the students learn and grow. Many of my former students are now teachers on campus and many others have children on the campus. It is so rewarding to see them as parents,” commented Beck.
Her inspiration comes from the students and teachers to keep learning. “Education is not a field where you can say that you have arrived or that you know it all. It is so important to keep learning and striving to do better, so we can help our students be academically successful and to be contributing citizens,” Beck stated.
A fact about Beck you may not know is she can read really fast! Her favorite quote comes from J.K. Rowling, “I do believe something magical can happen when you read a good book.”

James Layman is the principal at Spearman High School. He is in his second year as the SHS principal.
“A good day at school is one in which you see students and staff all smiling and having fun together. We constantly promote relationships in our building, and I think our staff have done an exceptional job at building those,” commented Layman.
The wisdom Layman would like to pass on to the students is,” My greatest piece of advice for students is… listen to adults around you. There is a reason they are telling you not to do something, they have already tried it and it did not work!”
A surprising fact about Layman is he used to be shy. “I used to be very shy as a young man. Over the years as my work with students has grown, that shyness has worn off, and now you see the results.
A favorite quote he shared was “To be early is to be on time, to be on time is to be late, and to be late is to be fired.” His coaches instilled this in him while he was in high school.
“Layman added the greatest thing about being a principal is “I am able to go to bathroom whenever I want to without having someone cover my class! Actually, the best thing about being the principal is having the ability to go to all of the classrooms in the school and watch great teachers work with our kiddos.”
