Hello Hicks Tigers,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! I am thrilled to be returning to Hicks Elementary, this time as building principal. I would like to share a little bit about myself and my journey in education.

I was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, and raised right here in Alief, Texas. I am a proud Alief Alum who returned to Alief to start my teaching career as a bilingual first-grade teacher right here at Hicks Elementary. During my 19 years at Hicks, I spent eleven years in the classroom, a year as a Math Recovery teacher, and seven years as the Science & Technology Specialist. I later served as an Assistant Principal at Bush Elementary before returning home to Hicks.

I am eager to collaborate with our incredible teachers, staff, students, parents and community as we continue our mission of "One Team, One Goal, Learning for All." As we gear up for the new school year, let's embrace the district's theme of 'Setting the Stage for Success' with our campus theme: " Lights, Camera, Learn!" We look forward to highlighting the amazing things happening in our classrooms this year.

Our teachers and staff have been hard at work preparing for our students return! We hope you join us on Thursday, August 8th from 4:00pm to 6:00pm for our Meet & Greet!! We are excited to see our new and returning Tigers!

I look forward to meeting and greeting you all at our upcoming events and Coffee with the Principal as we work together to ensure students' academic success. I am honored and excited to embark on this journey with you all. Enjoy the remainder of summer break and we look forwad to seeing you all soon!

Warm regards,

Fabiana Matturro
