It is a privilege to serve as the assistant principal at MacArthur High School for the third year, marking my ninth year in education. Throughout my career, I have had the honor of teaching ESL and ELA at the high school level and serving in administration at the middle school level. I am committed to the MacArthur community and am proud to be part of a team that strives for excellence.

I am a proud graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Spanish. My passion for education led me to further my studies, earning an MBA from Our Lady of the Lake University and completing my Principal and Superintendent Certifications at Lamar University. Currently, I am pursuing a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) through Walden University, as I believe in the transformative power of lifelong learning.

At MacArthur High School, I have the pleasure of leading the 9th-grade 5 Star Academy, a unique "school within a school" designed to provide our freshmen with the structure and support they need to develop strong academic and personal habits. This specialized program offers a focused environment where students can build a solid foundation, ensuring they are well-prepared not only for the challenges of high school but for life beyond our campus.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is witnessing the growth and success of our students as they transition from the 9th-grade building through their high school journey and ultimately to the graduation stage. Whether it's supporting our award-winning band and cheer teams or working closely with our dedicated teachers and staff, my primary goal is to see our students excel in all areas of their lives. I look forward to celebrating their achievements and supporting them every step of the way, as they prepare for a bright and successful future.

Hello, I am Hector Munoz MacArthur’s newest Assistant Principal. I am very excited to step into this new position, this year will be my 4^th year in Administration and 12^th year in education.

Hello, I am Christopher Gloege (pronounced Glow-guh), MacArthur’s newest Assistant Principal. While I am very excited to step into this new position, I am not new to the MacArthur community. In addition to being a Mac alumnus (proud member of the class of 1992 and a student of the original campus), I have also taught, sponsored, and coached at Mac since 2009. Overall, this is my twenty-first year with North East ISD. In my time at Mac, I have primarily taught U.S. History and AP U.S. History along with Economics and most recently, AP Macroeconomics. I earned my undergraduate degree from Trinity University and my master’s degree and Principal certification from Lamar University. 

My wife, Amy, teaches third grade in the cluster at Northwood Elementary School and is a proud Unicorn and an amazing teacher. We met at Trinity and have been married for over 25 wonderful years. Our son attended Northwood, KSAT, and then Garner, and is now a freshman at MacArthur which means that we are also proud Brahma parents and avid supporters of the Orchestra and Soccer programs. Go Brahmas! As I transition from the classroom to this new phase of my career, I am so pleased that I will be able to continue serving the MacArthur community. While I love teaching in the classroom, I look forward to the new challenges and growth opportunities this position presents and am so glad I will be able to continue to proudly say, WE ARE MAC!

I’m Sarah Moran, Director of MacUNITED Early College High Schools and the Institute of Cybersecurity and Innovation (iCSI). I also serve as an administrator for the Career and Technical Education Center (CTEC). I bring over 14 years of teaching and administrative experience in both local and international settings. My educational journey began right here in San Antonio, where I graduated from Madison High School in NEISD. From there, I pursued a Bachelor’s in International Relations and a Master’s in International Development, along with certifications in Social Studies 8-12 and Principal K-12. I studied at Fairfield University, the University of the Incarnate Word, and St. Mary’s University.

My commitment to education has taken me on an incredible journey, starting as a secondary English and science teacher in Sierra Leone with the United States Peace Corps. I also had the opportunity to teach in San Antonio and Niamey, Niger. Now, I’m honored to lead MacUNITED, iCSI, and support CTEC, driven by my passion for educational excellence and innovation.

As a mother of three children who attend NEISD schools and married to an educator, I’m deeply invested in our community. My goal is to create a supportive learning environment and advance educational opportunities for all students at MacUNITED, iCSI, and CTEC. It’s a privilege to be a part of this community, and I’m excited to contribute to its growth and success.
