Principal Denise Newman

I have been the principal of Mohawk Elementary since July 2020 and a passionate educator for 32 years. I obtained my Bachelor of Science Degree in Elementary Education from Indiana University at South Bend and my Masters in School Administration from Lamar University.  My educational career has included teaching third and sixth grade. I also was a  campus and district level math specialist and an assistant principal prior to becoming the principal at Mohawk.  Our mission at Mohawk is to provide an inclusive educational community rich in collaborative opportunities that promote respect, responsibility and growth for all.

It has been my joy to be the Assistant Principal of Mohawk Elementary since 2022. I have been in education since 2003.  I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2003 and received my Masters in Educational Administration from Lamar University in 2011.  I have taught grades 1-4 over my years as a classroom teacher and I have also served as a Campus Math Specialist and an instructional Coach prior to coming to Mohawk.  Throughout all of these roles, my mission has always been student growth. I feel blessed to get to connect with the students, families, and the community of Mohawk Elementary.
