      It is an honor to serve as the Curriculum and Instruction Assistant Principal at MacArthur High School, now in my fourth year on campus and eleventh year in education. I’ve taught English Language Arts (ELA) and English as a Second Language (ESL) at the high school level and served in administration at both middle and high schools. As both an educator and a MacArthur parent to a sophomore in the Early College High School program, I’m deeply invested in our students’ academic and personal success.

      I am a graduate of The University of Texas at Austin (B.A. in English, minor in Spanish), hold an MBA from Our Lady of the Lake University, and earned my Principal and Superintendent Certifications through Lamar University. I am currently pursuing a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) at Walden University. I have a strong emphasis on instructional improvement, teacher development, and building systems that support student achievement.

      I am honored to join MacArthur High School as one of the new Assistant Principals and look forward to serving our students, families, and staff.

      With nearly two decades in education, I spent close to 15 years in the classroom before stepping into administration in 2020—the challenging but transformative “Covid year.” In addition to teaching, I served as an assistant cheer coach for 9 years and an assistant dance director for 3 years, experiences that allowed me to connect with students beyond academics and help them grow as leaders and individuals.

      I have a deep passion for working with youth and take great pride in supporting their academic, personal, and future success. I am inspired by the unique strengths, backgrounds, and cultures each individual brings to our school community, and I love engaging with students on their level to help bring out the very best in them.

      My philosophy of education is simple yet powerful: all students are capable of learning—they just need the right push from a caring and supportive adult. I strive to be that person for every student, offering guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear whenever they need it.

      I am excited to work alongside the dedicated staff at MacArthur High School to create an environment where all students feel seen, supported, and empowered to succeed.

      Mr. Christopher Gloege

      Hello, I am Christopher Gloege (pronounced Glow-guh), MacArthur’s newest Assistant Principal. While I am very excited to step into this new position, I am not new to the MacArthur community. In addition to being a Mac alumnus (proud member of the class of 1992 and a student of the original campus), I have also taught, sponsored, and coached at Mac since 2009. Overall, this is my twenty-first year with North East ISD. In my time at Mac, I have primarily taught U.S. History and AP U.S. History along with Economics and most recently, AP Macroeconomics. I earned my undergraduate degree from Trinity University and my master’s degree and Principal certification from Lamar University. 

       

      My wife, Amy, teaches third grade in the cluster at Northwood Elementary School and is a proud Unicorn and an amazing teacher. We met at Trinity and have been married for over 25 wonderful years. Our son attended Northwood, KSAT, and then Garner, and is now a freshman at MacArthur which means that we are also proud Brahma parents and avid supporters of the Orchestra and Soccer programs. Go Brahmas! As I transition from the classroom to this new phase of my career, I am so pleased that I will be able to continue serving the MacArthur community. While I love teaching in the classroom, I look forward to the new challenges and growth opportunities this position presents and am so glad I will be able to continue to proudly say, WE ARE MAC!
