Terry holds a business degree from the University of Texas at Austin and a master’s in Administration and Supervision from the University of Houston. He has taught high school math for six years (two in Round Rock ISD and four at KIPP Houston High School). In his last three years as a classroom teacher, 98% of his freshmen students passed the Algebra I End-of-Course state exam. He also served as the regional teacher lead for Algebra I during those three years. His passion lies not in math though, but in students and has felt very privileged to be on the front lines of transitioning students into high school and to and through college. The most important objective of his course has always been that with a growth mindset, they achieve much more than they ever thought possible. In the upcoming 2015-2016 academic year, he will be continuing his work as an instructional coach at KIPP Houston High School. In his second year of administration, Terry works with teachers of all subjects and seeks to instill that same growth-mindset belief with the teachers he coaches. In addition to his work with teachers, he will also be a grade-level chair for the sophomore class. Outside of work, he enjoys reading, playing volleyball and basketball, and spending time with his wife and two young boys.
