    Mr. Rodolfo "Rudy" Salinas

    It is with great pride and honor that I introduce myself to you as your Bush Middle School Principal.  Prior to my appointment, I served the last five years as an assistant principal at Reagan High School and one year as an assistant principal at Driscoll Middle School.  From 2009-2015, I was a math teacher and football/baseball coach at Reagan. Before my time in NEISD, I taught and coached in various school districts in Texas.  This school year will mark my twenty-sixth year in education and I am so thankful that I get to continue doing what I love to do, which is to serve and grow our youth. 

    I was raised in the small South Texas town of Benavides as the youngest of six children.  Athletics has always been a huge part of my life, which led me to join the education profession and double major in Math and Kinesiology.  In 1996, I graduated from Texas A&M University-Kingsville.  In 2015, I received my Master of Education with Principal Certification from Concordia University Texas.  I am married to Gretchen (Hoelscher) Salinas who is currently the NEISD Advanced Academic Coordinator and AVID District Director.  We have 3 children.  Grace is a 2022 Johnson High School graduate who will be attending Texas State University, Julian (JJ) is an 8th grader at Harris Middle School, and finally, KyAnn is a 7th grader at our very own Bush Middle School.

    As your principal, I seek to foster positive behavior, student and faculty teamwork, and cooperation in the school environment. I believe in always doing what is best for kids, keeping safety for all as my highest priority. I strive to promote a caring, respectful, and positive attitude that demands excellence to strongly develop character in our students and staff. Most importantly, every child deserves the opportunity to be part of something great.  At Bush, “Success is our Destiny.”

    Mrs. Stephanie Morrisey

    My name is Stephanie Morrisey, and this is my second year at Barbara Bush Middle School. I have had the privilege of being an educator in special education for the last 6 years, working with students from diverse backgrounds and helping them reach their full potential. I have had the pleasure of coaching our young female athletes for 8th grade volleyball and 7th grade basketball.

     I hold a bachelor’s degree from the University of Incarnate Word in Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in Reading and Special Education. I earned my master’s degree in education in 2022 with a focus on Teacher Leadership also from UIW.

     Teaching Philosophy: I believe that every student has the potential to succeed and thrive academically. My teaching philosophy revolves around creating a supportive and inclusive learning environment where students feel empowered to ask questions, explore new ideas, and take ownership of their education.

     My husband and I have been married for 11 years and he is a fellow educator who has worked for NEISD for 11+ years. We have three beautiful girls; our twins are 7 and our youngest is 6. We also have four dogs (Great Dane, German Shepherd, and 2 Labradors).

    Mr. Brad Lacey

    My name is Brad Lacey, and I am so excited and grateful to be the new Assistant Principal and Bush Middle School.  2024-2025 will mark my 28th year in education.  For 26 years I was a high school teacher and basketball coach.  I was the head boys’ basketball coach at Churchill High School from 2013-2023, and prior to that was the head coach at Canyon High School in New Braunfels.  Last year I completed my first year in school administration as an Assistant Principal at Pieper Ranch Middle School.  I am thrilled to have the opportunity to return to NEISD, where I have served for a total 11 years in education.  

    I graduated from Howard Payne University with a Bachelor of Science, and received my Master’s degree in Education Administration from Lamar University.  I have been married to my beautiful wife Maribel for 24 years, and she is a Family Specialist in NEISD.  We have one son, Brayden, who keeps us very busy!  

    I look forward to all we will accomplish together!  Go Bulldogs!

    Mrs. Christina Sanchez

    Greetings Bulldog Nation. 

    My name is Christina Sanchez and I am proud to be in my 2nd year serving this fine community. 

    I possess an extensive tenure of more than two decades in education, primarily focusing on middle school education. My multifaceted background encompasses roles ranging from mathematics educator to departmental coordinator, culminating in my most recent engagement in educational administration.

    I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a specialization in Mathematics from the esteemed University of the Incarnate Word. Additionally, I have achieved a Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from the University of Texas at San Antonio, solidifying my academic foundation.

    My upbringing in San Antonio, coupled with the invaluable influence of my parents, has imprinted upon me an unwavering dedication to the pursuit of education and a robust professional ethos. Marrying my devotion to education with my personal life, I am fortunate to share my life with my esteemed life partner and am a proud parent to three wonderful daughters.

    Beyond my professional pursuits, I find gratification in outdoor pursuits, literary exploration, continuous learning endeavors, and cherished moments spent in the company of my family.

    I look forward to an amazing year! Go Bulldogs!

    Mrs. Amanda Taylor

    We have a saying at Bush, “Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog” and I haven’t had the heart to leave Bush and find out. 

    I graduated from Texas A&M with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies and began my teaching career a few months after Bush opened in 1998 as a 6th grade ELAR teacher. (Fun Fact: I was actually moved from my assigned student teaching campus to Bush so I could complete my time with the actual classes I would be taking over after graduation in December.) During my wonderful experience teaching, I was recognized by my colleagues with honors such as the Superintendent’s Award in 2000, the Bush Trinity Award for Excellence in Teaching in 2004, the PTA Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010, and the campus Teacher of the Year Award 2016-17.  I attained my Master of Arts in Educational Leadership from Concordia University in 2009. I served as the English department chair from 2008 to 2018 which was when I changed course to serve Bush as assistant principal. Although I loved the opportunities this new administrative position provided, when our Academic Dean of Instruction position opened, I knew it was a better fit for I missed directly working with students, teachers, and instruction. 

    When I'm not working, I enjoy reading, gardening, camping, and spending time with my family. 

    I cherish being a part of “The Bush Way” since the first year it opened. I feel blessed to get to come to this campus each day and work with such an amazing staff and remarkable students.
