My name is John Merrill and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and share my excitement about beginning my 1styear as the Principal of Krueger Middle School.  Since the day I stepped on this campus, it has been my honor and privilege to serve this incredible community and the Roosevelt Cluster! 

I am a native of Sacramento, California; however, San Antonio has been my home for the past 14 years.  I received my Bachelors of Arts in Government from Sacramento State in 2005 and my Masters in Education from Trinity University in 2013. In 2013, I was provided with the incredible opportunity to serve in the Roosevelt cluster as the Assistant Principal of Windcrest Elementary (2013-2017).  In 2018, I found my true home at Montgomery as the Assistant Principal and now Principal. 

 My wife Melinda and I are proud parents to 4 amazing boys, Jase (12), Jaxon (10), Jameson (6), and Jaeden (5).  We have truly been blessed with a wonderful family.  Also, we as a family are devoted fans of the Cleveland Browns.  Yes, those Cleveland Browns.  I just keep telling my boys… as long as they get better each game, it doesn’t matter if they win a game (I wonder how long they will buy that!)

I look forward to continuing this journey with each of you this year. There are amazing things happening at Krueger and I am honored, excited, and humbled to have been selected as Principal.  There is truly no place that I would rather be than right here at Krueger Middle School. If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to call or email me.

Happy 23-24 school year, my name is Diana Clark. It is with great enthusiasm and excitement that I am joining Krueger Middle as one of the Assistant Principals. I am truly honored to accept this role and look forward to working alongside the Krueger falcons, staff, families and community.  

I am from the “Windy City” and home to the original deep dish pizza and DA BEARS(Chicago, IL);  however San Antonio has become home for the past 5 years. While in Illinois, I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Illinois State University in 2003 and my Masters of Arts in Educational Leadership from Concordia University in 2014. 

I am entering my twentieth year in education. For fifteen of those years, I had the privilege to serve students and families of the Chicago Public School District. I spent twelve years as an elementary classroom teacher and three years as a High School Assistant Principal on the West Side of Chicago. Once moving to San Antonio, I served as a Literacy Instructional Coach for West Avenue (2018) and then Montgomery Elementary (2019-2023).

My husband and I have an amazing 8 year old (Honesty) who grows taller and taller EVERYDAY! (She’s the tallest in the class now.) We hope to add a furry pup to the family one day soon that can join us on the trails and trips to Starbucks for a pup cup. 

I am excited and eager to serve our Krueger falcons, staff, families and community. Feel free to stop by and say hello. I look forward to meeting and getting to know each one of you. If there is anything I can assist you with now or in the future, please let me know. 

My name is Carrie Turner-Gray.  I am excited to be starting my first year at the Space and Engineering Technologies Academy Middle School at Krueger Middle School.  I serve as the Assistant Principal/Director of SETA MS and am responsible for all thing and students that are in SETA.  I will also handle CRMS (inventory), chromebook check outs for SETA 7 & 8, technology, clubs and organizations, and SETA discipline.  I am so excited to be a part of the amazing Roosevelt cluster and in a magnet school.

I am a military kid and was born in Oklahoma City and finally settling in Universal City, Texas.  I have lived in the San Antonio area for over 40 years.  I obtained my Bachelor of Business Administration and a Master of Business Administration, working in the Accounting and Finance fields until deciding to make a career change 15 years ago.  I then obtained a Master of Education in Secondary Education and began teaching Career and Technology Education classes 13 years ago.  I have taught everything from Dual Credit Accounting to Fashion Design to Business Management.  I obtained my Doctor of Management degree from Wayland Baptist in 2019, completing one of my personal goals.  In 2021, I began a Master of Education in Educational Administration and obtained my Princial as the Educational Leader in 2023. 

I have two amazing adult children, Meagan (28) and Chad (19), and an awesome granddaughter, Savannah Belle (6).  I still cannot believe that I am now an empty nester.  I plan on devoting all my extra time to some of my favorite hobbies:  yoga, ballet, ballroom dance, country dancing, college football (GO Buckeyes!), hiking, and travel.   

I am excited to be a part of such an amazing partnership with NASA and cannot wait to see how our teachers will use their resources to make our curricula much richer and more engaging.  If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
