Administration
PRINCIPAL
Monica Waggoner
I am absolutely thrilled to accept this position. With the incredible momentum that our school leadership has already established, I’m eager to build upon this foundation and help take G-PHS to new heights beginning next school year.
I believe that educational leadership requires a servant heart tempered with the courage in one’s convictions. This is what I strive to share with students and staff that I work with.
When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my two teenage children and my husband. We’re a very active family that enjoys hunting, fishing, birding, running, watching our kids in their sports, playing some soccer on the beach and (when we can get back to Houston) catching an Astros game.

It is truly an honor to have the opportunity to serve the students, staff, and community of Gregory Portland. Together we will work every day to ensure student success through the use of research-based best practices, student engagement, and data-driven instruction.
