Welcome to Vineyard Ranch Elementary School! I am thrilled and honored to introduce myself as your new principal. Joining this amazing community, dedicated to nurturing students and fostering academic achievement, fills me with great enthusiasm.

My journey in education spans two decades, all within North East ISD. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege to teach and lead at various campuses, each experience enriching my passion for elementary education and our District's values.

I firmly believe that every child deserves a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable environment in which to learn and thrive. Together, we will cultivate a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continual growth, empowering each student to realize their full potential.

I am excited to begin this journey alongside you all. Together, we will continue to uphold the rich traditions and values that make Vineyard Ranch such a special place for learning, leading, and academics.

Beyond my role as principal, my husband and I find joy in spending time together as a family with our son, a first grader attending a North East school, and our beloved miniature schnauzer. As a family, we enjoy cheering on Texas Longhorn sports, competing in miniature golf, and spending quality time together.

I eagerly anticipate getting to know each of you and collaborating to ensure that every child at Vineyard Ranch receives a top-tier education and the support they need to excel academically, socially, and emotionally. I will be meeting with the Vineyard Ranch leadership team to ensure a smooth transition for our campus.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, ideas, or concerns. My door is always open, and I am eager to work with you all to continue elevating Vineyard Ranch to new heights of excellence.

Thank you for embracing me into the Vineyard Ranch family. I am genuinely excited to embark on this journey together and to make a positive impact on our campus.

Hello Bronco Families and Community,

It is my pleasure and honor to introduce myself as the Assistant Principal of Vineyard Ranch Elementary.  I am thrilled to serve such a remarkable group of students, staff and families at The Ranch.  

This year marks my 23rd year in education.  I spent two decades living my childhood dream of being a classroom teacher.  I began my career serving the students of Charles C. Ball Elementary for 14 years.  I also served the Mildred Baskin Elementary School community for 6 years.  I have taught Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade.  I cherish every minute of those 20 years.  

I graduated from Southwest Texas State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education.  While teaching, I also earned a Master’s Degree in Guidance and Counseling from Texas A&M, Kingsville.  Most recently, in 2020, I gained my Master’s in Educational Leadership from Trinity University.  

Upon completion of my course work at Trinity, I joined the North East Independent School District.  I served the students and teachers of Colonial Hills Elementary as an Instructional Coach.  It was an honor to serve the Cougar community for two years.  

On a personal note, like you, I am a parent.  My husband Patrick and I have a daughter, Erin.  We also have a Chiweenie named Mandy.  When I’m not at The Ranch you can find me with my family either at home in Boerne or taking a weekend road trip to find the best that South Texas has to offer.

It is evident that the success of Vineyard Ranch is due to the dedication of its students, families, and every single person who walks through its doors.  My goal is to not only continue that tradition by walking in step with our faculty and staff but to also increase the level of student achievement and performance.  I believe that students are at the center of all school-related decisions.  I am grateful for the chance to bring my experience and student centered approach to Vineyard Ranch Elementary.  I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with Bronco families to foster your student’s goals and aspirations.  This school year will be one for the record books!  

Education is my life’s work and childhood dream come true.  I am proud to now call Vineyard Ranch my home away from home. I look forward to meeting you all.  Please contact me with any questions or to discuss how much your child enjoys being a Bronco Leader!  My contact information is amollo@neisd.net or 210-357-7200 ext. 67222

Sincerely,

Amy Molloy
