Greetings Eagles!

I am Lisa E. Hicks—wife, mother, friend, and proud servant leader of Dr. Ronald E. McNair Junior High School. This year marks my 14th as an administrator in Alvin ISD, and my fourth year proudly serving as the principal of RMJH. The last four years have been an amazing journey, and I look forward to what lies ahead as we continue to grow together as a school community.

Before joining RMJH as principal, I had the privilege of serving as principal of Glenn York Elementary for five wonderful years, and as Assistant Principal at both Hood-Case Elementary and Stevenson Primary. My journey in education began in Pearland ISD as a teacher, and prior to that, I taught and served as a Staff Developer in my beloved hometown of New Orleans, Louisiana.

I lead with my heart and firmly believe that relationships are the foundation of every successful school. As an instructional leader, I am passionate about building capacity in both teachers and students. I strive to be a leader who is fair and firm, holding high expectations while providing the support needed for everyone to thrive. One of my guiding principles is captured in the words of George Evans: “Every child can learn. Just not on the same day or in the same way.” At RMJH, we honor the diverse needs of our students by creating a safe, engaging, and intellectually stimulating environment that empowers them to think critically, problem-solve creatively, and grow into well-rounded citizens.

I am committed to ensuring that every stakeholder—students, families, and staff—experiences the very best of what RMJH has to offer. Our school is a place where students will not only grow academically, but socially and emotionally as well.

On a personal note, my faith and my family are my greatest blessings. I’ve been married to my husband, Brian Hicks, Sr., for 33 years. We have two amazing adult children, Brian Jr. and Jaazz Imani, a daughter-in-love, Sierra, and a beloved grand-fur baby, Reaux. I also proudly serve as a faithful member of Wheeler Avenue Baptist Church.

As your principal, my door is always open. I value your feedback, your partnership, and your voice. I look forward to connecting with you throughout the year as we continue to build a school culture where Eagles SOAR!

With gratitude and purpose,
Lisa E. Hicks
