it is with great pride and excitement that I introduce myself as the new principal of Oak Grove Elementary. It is a true privilege to join such a caring and dedicated school community within North East ISD. Oak Grove has a strong reputation for its caring staff, community involvement, and a nurturing environment where students are encouraged to grow both academically and socially.

I bring with me 23 years of experience in NEISD, having served as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, and, for the past six years, as an assistant principal. These experiences have deepened my commitment to building strong relationships, leading with purpose, and creating learning environments where every student can thrive.

I earned my bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University and later completed my master’s degree in educational leadership at Texas A&M University–San Antonio. My time at both institutions helped shape my passion for education and provided a strong foundation for my work as a leader and lifelong learner.

As both an educator and a parent of children who attend school in NEISD, I believe that strong partnerships between school and home are essential to student achievement. I look forward to connecting with families to listen, learn, and grow together. I am thrilled to begin this new chapter with the Oak Grove community and to work collaboratively to ensure a successful school year for all.

Leading with Heart,

Melissa Medina-Jauregui
