Principal's Welcome

Welcome to Sampson-Howard Elementary!

It is a privilege to serve as the principal of Sampson-Howard Elementary, Temple ISD’s Fine Art Academy.  Our dedicated staff works each day to create a safe, engaging, and supportive environment where students are challenged to think, encouraged to grow, and inspired to reach their full potential.

Our work is guided by three commitments: Purpose, Connection, and Growth. We are intentional about ensuring every student has access to rigorous, grade-level learning. We believe strong relationships with students, families, and one another create the foundation for success. Most importantly, we believe every student can grow every day, and we are committed to helping each child reach new levels of achievement.

At Sampson Howard, we value our partnership with families and know that when schools and families work together, students thrive. Thank you for trusting us with your child's education. We look forward to an incredible year of learning, growth, and celebration together.

Go Cougars!
