My name is Renette and I have been in education for 17 years. I began my career as an Instructional Assistant, progressed to teaching Special Education for five years, then as a 3rd grade collaborative teacher for Northside ISD. I earned a BS in Criminal Justice and Human Services from Wayland Baptist University in 2001, an MS in Business Security Management from Webster University in 2005 and received my Educational Leadership from Lamar University in Beaumont Texas in 2015. I’ve worked over 20+ years with the United States Air Force, US Army Corp of Engineering, and Booz Allen Hamilton as a Financial Business Consultant and Management Analyst.

My husband, Ramon and I have three children, the youngest is a sophomore in college. I absolutely love working with students, and I am ecstatic to be working with an awesome group of society changers. Our students’ success is my top priority and Hidden Forest needs each of us to make that happen!

I am excited about working with all of you and I look forward to an exciting and safe school year.

Hello, my name is Emily-Mae Fewell, Assistant Principal at Hidden Forest Elementary! I am thrilled to be part of this incredible community. Born and raised in North Carolina, I have proudly called Texas my home for the past 12 years. Before embarking on my educational journey, I served as a paralegal in the United States Air Force for nearly six years.

I earned my bachelor's degree in education from the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) in 2019, followed by a master's in educational leadership from UTSA in 2023. My career at Hidden Forest began over five years ago, where I initially served as a special education co-teacher and resource teacher. I then transitioned into the STEPS/redirection teaching position, which I found incredibly rewarding.

In May 2024, I completed the NEISD administrative internship program, which further prepared me for my current role as assistant principal. I am deeply committed to fostering a supportive and enriching environment for our students and staff.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wonderful husband, Jake, and our three amazing children: Lexie, Abby, and Peter. We also love spending time with our dogs and volunteering with the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo.

I am excited to continue serving the Hidden Forest community and look forward to an amazing year ahead!
