Welcome to Millsap ISD! What an honor it is to serve the Bulldogs alongside
you. Millsap is a special place where relationships are central, character is
upheld, and students are the focus of our work. I have served Millsap ISD for
the last 8 years, 3 years as the Superintendent and the 5 prior years as the
Assistant Superintendent. Each day it is an honor and a blessing to have the
opportunity to serve the Millsap community and make a positive impact.

I look forward to meeting each of you in person but until then, below is just a
little about myself!

My Family: I grew up in Parker County as the only child of Bill and Edith
Robinson.  Throughout their almost 62 years of marriage, my parents have
always been upstanding examples of how to create a loving home. While at
Texas Tech, I met my husband, Clay Martin. We have been married for 28
years and are blessed with two children, Grant and Mackenzie. Mackenzie,
our youngest child, graduated from Millsap High School in 2021.

My Educational Background: The 2023-2024 school year will be my 29 th year
in education. After growing up in Parker County, I attended Weatherford
College and then graduated from Texas Tech University. My educational
career started in west Texas teaching secondary math and serving as a girls'
basketball and softball coach. During my career, I have served in various
leadership capacities, including principal at both the elementary and high
school levels. I am a committed lifetime learner (a.k.a. I like school!). I
earned a Master of Education degree from Tarleton State University and a
Doctoral degree in Educational Administration from Dallas Baptist University.

As a mom, I know your child(ren) is your most prized possession. Thank you
for allowing your child(ren) to attend Millsap ISD where our mission is to
inspire, develop, and educate every student in a safe environment. In Millsap
ISD, you can be assured that educators love the students and are dedicated to
the whole child's development.

I am proud to be a Millsap Bulldog and I know you are as well! Please do
not hesitate to reach out. I always look forward to visiting with you.
