Dear Parents,

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to the families and community of
Viridian Elementary. For the past 21 years, I have had the privilege of being in
education having experienced many wonderful years as a classroom teacher and
administrator. I received my Bachelor of Science in Education and Master of Education
in Administration from The University of Arkansas, Little Rock. In 2004, I received my
Doctorate in Education Administration from The University of North Texas.
In 2002, I joined HEB ISD as an Assistant Principal at Wilshire Elementary. This was a
unique opportunity for me to be a part of the initial implementation of the Suzuki Strings
and Core Knowledge Pre-K programs at the campus. I am still in awe every time I hear
students play a Suzuki Strings concert. For the last nine years I have proudly served as
the Principal at both Donna Park Elementary and Stonegate Elementary. It has been
very satisfying helping students and staff accomplish their goals!
From a personal standpoint, I am proud to be a native Texan and have lived in the HEB
ISD community since 1999. My family and I currently reside in Hurst. My husband, Lee
and I were high school sweethearts and will celebrate 23 years of marriage this year.
Lee graduated from the University of North Texas and is Vice President of Lockton
Companies, a national insurance broker, where he works as a Risk Management
Consultant. My daughter, Carly, will be going into 6th grade this year and my son, Jack,
will be a 2nd grader. It is so much fun watching them grow and participate in a variety of
sports and activities. We are supporters of UNT football and will attend all home games
this year in Denton. Go Mean Green! We also enjoy spending time with family at Lake
Holbrook in east Texas. The memories are priceless!
Now it is time for me to begin the exciting new endeavor at Viridian Elementary. I am
looking forward to becoming engrained with the Viridian community, and am excited to
meet each and every family. Viridian Elementary is a wonderful campus with unique and
innovative programs that any principal would be proud to be associated with. I look
forward to embarking on this journey with you to provide the best possible education to
our children.
Please join me and my family for a meet and greet on Thursday, July 16th at the campus
at 6:00pm. I’ll also be spending time on campus in the days to come so please feel free
to stop by and say hello.

Warmest Regards,

Dr. Aungelique Brading
