Dear Pecos ISD Community,

​

I am honored to introduce myself as the newly appointed Principal of Pecos High School and Middle School. It

is with great enthusiasm that I join this dynamic and dedicated community, committed to fostering an

environment where every student thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.

​

With a background in school administration, including experience as an Executive Director of Special

Education, Secondary School Principal and Deputy Director of Student Support Services, I bring a deep

commitment to educational excellence, rigor and equity. My journey in education has been driven by a passion

for innovation and a dedication to creating inclusive learning environments that meet the diverse needs of all

students.

​

In my new role, I am eager to support our school system in understanding, designing, and implementing

innovative strategies that integrate support and resources for students with disabilities into both new and

existing systems. This includes enhancing our virtual learning services, refining our Multi-tier Support System,

and advancing post-secondary transitional initiatives, and compensatory resources. Setting ambitious goals and

tracking our progress is critical to our success. I am committed to leading our team in the development of clear,

measurable goals that not only meet but exceed state and federal requirements. Together, we will ensure that

our programs are implemented with fidelity and that we continuously improve our delivery to provide the best

possible outcomes for our students.

​

A key focus will be on recruiting, developing, and retaining a high-performing, customer service-oriented team

dedicated to supporting our District/Campus Strategic Plan(s). We will work together as a team to innovate and

improve education, general and advanced curricula, 504 services, and our Multi-Tier Support System.

Collaboration is at the heart of our work. I look forward to aligning our efforts with community stakeholders, to

ensure that Pecos ISD receives the highest level of support, to include grant writing. By working together, we

will align and integrate special population initiatives, practices, procedures, and expectations, creating a

cohesive and effective educational experience for all students.

​

I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and am committed to working with each of you to make

Pecos High School and Middle School exemplary institutions of learning. Together, we will continue to build

on the strengths of our district and create new pathways for success.

​

Thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to meeting and working with each of you as we embark on

this exciting journey together.

​

Sincerely,

​

Gilbert Steven Morales, M.Ed.
