Assistant Principal Beth Crisp

I grew up in Corpus Christi, Texas, then moved to Lubbock to earn my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Texas Tech University.  After raising my three sons, I went back to school and earned my Master of Education in Administration from Lamar University. My entire public education career has been in Richardson ISD where I have served as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, district reading specialist, and assistant principal. The 2025-2026 school year will be my 9th year serving as the assistant principal at O.Henry, and I feel so fortunate to be able to work side by side with the students, families, and staff at O.Henry. Their creativity and hard work growing towards their goals inspires me daily.
