About the Principal
 

Mrs. Yolanda Y. Garrido,

Principal

 

I am very proud to say that this is my 9th year being part of the wonderful community of Barrick Elementary.  My fifteen years of professional experiences comes from being a bilingual teacher, a reading teacher/trainer, an assistant principal, and a principal.  I know that my education has prepared me well for the challenge of principal.  I had a great experience as an HISD student and graduated from Milby High School with highest honors.

 

I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Houston and my master’s degree from the University of St. Thomas.  I do believe that HISD is the best school district and I will work hard to prove it.  I follow one simple rule as a principal:  make every decision with the students’ best interest in mind.  I love my job and I love my students.  I have the same expectations for the students as I had for myself – college graduation!
