Dear Hardy Oak Families, Students and Staff,

It is with great pride and excitement that I introduce myself as the new Principal of Hardy Oak Elementary School. I am truly looking forward to getting to know the students, staff and families who make this community so special.

As a proud NEISD graduate, it is an incredible privilege to serve in the District that helped shape who I am. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Todd, for 24 years, and we are the proud parents of two boys. Our oldest son, Colton, graduated from Johnson High School in 2020, and our youngest son, Hunter, will be a senior at Johnson this fall.  Being both a parent and an educator in NEISD has deepened my appreciation for the powerful role schools play in supporting students through every stage of their journey.

Over the past 13 years, I’ve had the joy of serving students and families as both a classroom teacher and campus leader. I taught Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 4th grade at Huebner Elementary School and most recently served as Assistant Principal at Northwood Elementary School. These experiences have shaped my deep belief in student-centered learning, high expectations for all, and the importance of a strong, supportive school culture. Every child deserves a safe, joyful and rigorous educational experience that inspires curiosity, fosters character and prepares them for the future. I am equally committed to building strong relationships with staff and supporting the incredible educators who make that experience possible.

I believe strong relationships are at the heart of a successful school, and I look forward to getting to know our Hornet students, staff and families. I am eager to listen, learn and lead alongside you to build on the proud legacy of Hardy Oak and ensure a memorable and meaningful year for every child.

Happy to be a Hornet,

Alison Lee
Principal
Hardy Oak Elementary School

Duties and Responsibilities:

I want to start by expressing my sincere gratitude for your interest in our school. I am beyond excited to serve as the Assistant Principal here at Hardy Oak for another year! Allow me to share a bit about myself. My husband and I are proud parents of four grown children and the grandparents of eight wonderful grandkids. We also have three beloved fur babies! I enjoy walking the trails that San Antonio has to offer and savoring a good cup of coffee in my free time.

This year marks my 19th year in education and my fourth as an Assistant Principal. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and a master’s degree in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies from UTSA. I’ve had the privilege of working in NEISD since 2014, first as a third-grade dual language teacher at Coker Elementary, and later as a Family Specialist at Vineyard Ranch, Las Lomas, and Hardy Oak.

I truly feel blessed to be part of this wonderful community and look forward to working together to support our students!
