TEACHERS OF THE YEAR 2026-2027 2026 DISTRICT AND CAMPUS TEACHER OF THE YEAR Brandon Boylan Mule Time Media Teacher Alamo Heights Junior School

Brandon Boylan is the Mule Time Media teacher at Alamo Heights Junior School. He joined Alamo Heights ISD in 2024. He began his teaching career in 2014 and has also served as an elementary and middle school English Language Arts teacher. His classroom is a fully-functioning newsroom led by seventh and eighth graders who cover timely, newsworthy topics around their campus and the district, all with the assistance of Mr. Boylan’s service dog Buzz who brings smiles to the student journalists’ faces daily. “At the end of the day, the classroom community is not really about the teacher. Certainly, I set the standard, yet it is the students who build the home. Thus, I deem it vital to put students in positions where they can be successful as leaders in and contributors to the classroom community. This is where the student-centric classroom comes into play. As I see it, it is my job to facilitate the learning rather than conveying it. My job is to hand the students the paint rather than painting the path for them.” Alamo Heights Junior School Principal Dr. Stu Guthrie says“Brandon stands apart not only for what he does in the classroom, but for how deeply his work shapes culture, opportunity, and student voice across our campus and beyond. Teacher of the Year should represent excellence in instruction, leadership, and impact. Brandon Boylan exemplifies all three. Our students are better because of him. Our campus is stronger because of him.”

2026 CAMPUS TEACHER OF THE YEAR Emily Rangel Culinary Arts, Professional Communication, and Student Council Leadership Teacher Alamo Heights High School

Emily Rangel has been teaching at Alamo Heights High School, her alma mater, since 2015. She currently serves as a Culinary Arts, Professional Communication, and Student Council Leadership Teacher. Both her mother and grandmother were teachers, and some of her strongest childhood memories are in the kitchen with her father who loved to cook. Today she passes on the knowledge and joy of cooking and food to her own daughter and to her students. “Cooking is naturally communal, and I use that to foster trust, communication, and mutual respect. When students feel seen,

valued, and connected, they are more willing to participate, take risks, and fully engage in the learning process. I also strive to create a safe and inclusive space where students feel comfortable expressing ideas, asking questions, and being creative. In the kitchen, there is rarely just one ‘right’ way to approach a dish, which allows students to think openly, problem-solve, and experiment without fear of failure.” Alamo Heights High School principal Cory Smith shares- “Emily embodies the very best qualities of an educator: compassion, creativity, high expectations, and the belief that every student has value and potential. She meets students where they are, creates a space where they feel safe and seen, and pushes them to grow. Her classroom is a place where students discover not only the joy of food, but also a sense of belonging and community.”

2026 CAMPUS TEACHER OF THE YEAR Erica Kovach Special Education Teacher Woodridge Elementary

Erica Kovach is a Student Support Team (SST) teacher at Woodridge Elementary. She joined Alamo Heights ISD in 2023 and has been teaching since 2008 in various special education roles. The former Division 1 basketball player says her life has been shaped by movement, connection and community. Her journey has been shaped by those who believed in her before she believed in herself. She strives to be that source of encouragement and stability for her students, helping them realize their strengths and potential. “Every success and challenge deepens my understanding of teaching and reinforces my belief that all students can achieve their potential when they feel safe to take risks, make mistakes, and know we are there to support them every step of the way. This ongoing journey inspires me to continue learning, reflecting, and striving for excellence—not just in academics, but in cultivating resilience, independence, and confidence in the students I am so fortunate to serve.” Former Woodridge principal Sean Reno says- “Ms.Kovach designs engaging lessons that focus not only on academic growth, but on meaningful life skills. Her lessons are creative, fun, and accessible to all learners. Through intentional differentiation, Erica ensures that every student has the opportunity to participate fully, lead when appropriate, and experience genuine success in her classroom. She delivers lessons to include an array of learning opportunities for our students, specifically through kinesthetic learning, visual learning, musical learning and lessons that support interpersonal intelligence.”

Five amazing Alamo Heights ISD educators were honored as the 2026 Campus Teachers of the Year. They were selected by their peers and represent their campuses throughout 2026. The 2026 Campus Teachers of the Year are: Emily Rangel, Culinary Arts teacher; Alamo Heights HS: Brandon Boylan, Mule Time Media teacher, Alamo Heights Junior School; Debbie Mainz, 3rd grade teacher, Cambridge; Erica Kovach, special education teacher, Woodridge; and Libby Perez, Kindergarten teacher, Howard ECC. Brandon Boylan, Mule Time Media Teacher at Alamo Heights Junior School, is the 2026 Alamo Heights ISD Teacher of the Year. Boylan also represented AHISD as the district’s nominee for the Trinity Prize for Excellence in Teaching and Region 20 Secondary Teacher of the Year.

2026 CAMPUS TEACHER OF THE YEAR

Debbie Mainz is a third grade teacher at Cambridge Elementary. She joined Alamo Heights ISD in 2010 and has been teaching since 1992 as a classroom teacher and interventionist. Throughout her career, she has learned to embrace change while building strong classroom communities, focusing on the whole child, and savoring the little moments that often have lasting impact.

Libby Perez is a kindergarten inclusion teacher at Howard Early Childhood Center. She joined AHISD and Howard in 2012, first as a substitute teacher and then as a paraprofessional, Pre-K teacher, and kindergarten teacher.

Debbie Mainz 3rd Grade Teacher Cambridge Elementary

“Planning for student learning begins with relationships and intentional care for the whole child. At the start of each school year, I slow down and make it a priority to truly know my students—not just academically, but personally. I learn how they learn best, what excites them, what challenges them, and what helps them feel safe, confident, and willing to take risks. I believe students learn best when they feel seen and valued, and this belief guides my planning. Through observation, conversation, and data, I thoughtfully design instruction that meets students where they are while gently pushing them forward. This approach allows me to plan with purpose, flexibility, and compassion, ensuring every student feels supported, challenged, and capable of success.” Cambridge Principal Yvonne Munoz says- “What truly sets Mrs. Mainz apart is her ability to blend instructional excellence with servant leadership. She uses data thoughtfully, builds strong relationships with students and families, and creates a learning environment where students feel both challenged and supported. Her influence extends far beyond her own classroom, strengthening instructional practices and campus culture as a whole.”

Libby Perez Kindergarten Teacher Howard Early Childhood Center

She believes education doesn’t stop at the classroom door; it extends to meaningful relationships and support for families. In 2016 she helped start the Heights Clothes Closet, which has since expanded across the district, as a way to provide basic necessities to children in need. “I often reflect on the kind of teachers I would want for my own children, and I strive to be that teacher in my classroom, holding high expectations while nurturing growth and confidence. I recognize that each kindergartner enters my classroom at a different place, and I create individualized plans to help them reach their potential. I also value differences in our classroom, helping students learn to connect with peers of all backgrounds and abilities while fostering empathy and respect. I feel honored to be part of each child’s journey, supporting their growth academically, socially, and emotionally, and helping them develop a lifelong love of learning.” Howard Principal Dr. Ariana Hernandez shares- “She represents the very best of our profession and embodies what it means to serve students with both excellence and heart. She has created a truly nurturing, inclusive classroom environment where all students — regardless of ability level or individual need — feel valued, supported, and capable of success. Her classroom is a place where children feel safe to take risks, grow academically, and develop confidence. She understands that meaningful learning cannot happen without strong relationships and a sense of belonging, and she intentionally cultivates both every day.” MULES ILLUSTRATED

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

The transformation of Alamo Heights ISD continues with several construction projects in progress and several projects completed across the district as a result of the voter approved School Bond 2023.

AHHS ACADEMIC BUILDING The new academic building at Alamo Heights High School is complete. After two years of construction, students and staff started the new school year in their new home. The new building is three stories with classroom and collaborative learning spaces.

AHISD ATHLETIC COMPLEX AT ROBBINS The first softball games were held at the new Mule

MULES ILLUSTRATED

Diamond, part of the AHISD Athletics Complex at Robbins, in early March 2026. The new building adjacent to the softball field, houses concessions, restrooms, locker rooms for tennis and softball, coaches' offices, and meeting space. Two additional parking lots are also available off of Ramsey.

THE JUNIOR SCHOOL Construction began at The Junior School in June 2026. The project will take about two years to complete in several phases. The first phase is the new gymnasium/6th grade building, which will be erected near the current tennis courts and is expected to be completed in August 2027. The current track area is now a laydown yard for construction materials. The back loop and back parking areas have also been reconfigured to accommodate the construction.

CAMBRIDGE Construction continues at Cambridge. Most classroom refreshes have been completed along with the offices and main hallways. The new Central Plant is up and running and cafeteria/kitchen remodeling is nearing completion. The library will be completed in early fall.

WOODRIDGE Construction at Woodridge is substantially complete. All classrooms have been refreshed along with hallways, offices, the library, cafeteria, and the auditorium.

Learning and Leadership began in June 2026 on the site of the former Colony Apartments on Broadway across from the current Central Office building. It is expected to be completed in summer 2027.

HOW TO STAY UPDATED Regular bond construction updates are provided at AHISD Board Meetings, in the School Views publication mailed to AHISD residents, in Dr. Bashara’s monthly messages, on district social media platforms, and on the district’s website, www.ahisd.net.

COMMUNITY CENTER FOR LEARNING AND LEADERSHIP Construction of the new Community Center for MULES ILLUSTRATED

FROM YOUR PRINCIPAL Dear Alamo Heights High School Families, Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! This is an especially exciting time to be a Mule as we begin a new chapter in the story of Alamo Heights High School and proudly welcome our students, families, and community home to our beautiful new building. While our surroundings may be new, the heart of AHHS remains firmly rooted in the traditions, relationships, and pursuit of excellence in all we do that have defined our school for generations. Our theme this year, “Building a Legacy: Honoring Our Past, Creating Our Future,” reminds us that every student has an important role in shaping the legacy of Alamo Heights High School. Nowhere is that legacy more visible than through our athletic programs. Our student-athletes and coaches carry forward a proud tradition of excellence while demonstrating the character, teamwork, resilience, and school pride that unite our entire community. Each practice, competition, victory, and challenge becomes part of the story we are building together. I look forward to celebrating the accomplishments, milestones, and unforgettable Cory Ann Smith moments this year will bring. Thank you to our families, coaches, sponsors, and Principal, Alamo Heights High School community members for the countless ways you support our student-athletes and help make the Alamo Heights experience so special. Together, we will honor those who came before us, embrace the opportunities ahead, and continue building a legacy that will inspire generations of Mules to come. Mules Up! With love and gratitude.

FROM YOUR ATHLETIC DIRECTOR Welcome to the 2026-27 school year! We are so excited for what is ahead for our programs and the success of our athletic department as a whole. Alamo Heights is a special place, and we are committed to providing an unparalleled athletic experience for our student-athletes while representing our school and community with pride, both on and off the field and court. Our coaches and administration are committed to maximizing every program and every season while providing the best possible four-year experience for every athlete who represents our amazing district. We believe that some of the most important lessons our student-athletes learn through our athletic programs cannot be replicated anywhere else. Our goal is to not only maximize every season, but to also ensure that our athletes are better people for having participated in our programs.

Sean Reno AHISD Athletic Director

Our athletic program would like to thank our Superintendent Dr. Dana Bashara and her staff, School Board President Mrs. Carey Hildebrand and the members of the AHISD School Board, Alamo Heights High School Principal Mrs. Cory Smith and her staff, Alamo Heights Junior School Principal Dr. Stuart Guthrie and his staff, Mule Team President Mr. Clyde Johnson and the Mule Team, the Alamo Heights community and all the fans for your continued support and commitment to our students.

We could not reach our goals without our supportive community and we encourage you to attend as many of our athletic events as possible with your family. This is a family operation and we are extremely proud of the hard work of our student-athletes and the teams that represent our school community! Mules UP!

FROM YOUR SUPERINTENDENT Greetings Mules Fans! There’s no place like Alamo Heights ISD and I'm excited to welcome all of you to a new season of athletics! We will certainly continue to build on the successes achieved last year while cheering on our athletes and coaches this year! We are excited about the transformation of AHISD that is well underway thanks to the overwhelming community support of School Bond 2023. This fall we are celebrating the completion of the new academic building at AHHS! Earlier this spring we also celebrated the completion of Mule Diamond, our new softball facility that is part of the AHISD Athletic Complex at Robbins. This past summer, construction continued at Cambridge and Woodridge and construction began at The Junior School and our new Community Center for Learning and Leadership. We are thrilled to celebrate our student-athletes, performers, and spirit groups as they showcase their incredible talents this season! Whether competing on the field, performing under the lights, or bringing energy to the sidelines, our students consistently demonstrate the dedication, spirit, and strong work ethic that define the Alamo Heights ISD experience. Thank you to our coaches, directors, and sponsors for investing their time and heart into shaping our students into confident, dynamic leaders. Finally, thank you to all of our amazing Mule fans for helping to maintain a safe, encouraging, and supportive environment for everyone at our events and being examples of “The Texas Way.” Dr. Dana Bashara Superintendent of Schools

CHEER 2026-2027 CHEER DIRECTOR/HEAD COACH

TIFFANY STRATTON

Coach Tiffany Stratton is beginning her first year as an Alamo Heights Mule and her eighth year in education. A former kindergarten teacher, Coach Stratton has always had a passion for working with students and helping them grow in confidence, character, and leadership. Originally from a small town, Coach Stratton has always valued the sense of community, tradition, and pride that comes from being part of something bigger than yourself. She is incredibly excited to be part of the Alamo Heights community and looks forward to building relationships, creating meaningful experiences, and helping her athletes grow both on and off the sideline and mat. She is proud to call Alamo Heights home and is excited for an amazing year of being a Mule! Go Mules!

CHEER ASSISTANT COACH

She previously taught and retired from Judson ISD and served as the cheer coach there from 1983-2001 and then became the Spirit Group Facilitator for the JISD district until her retirement in 2018.

What an exciting time to be an Alamo Heights Mule! As I begin my first season as the Head Cheer Coach at Alamo Heights High School, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to lead such a talented and dedicated group of athletes and to become part of a community that takes so much pride in its students, traditions, and teams. The Alamo Heights Cheer program is coming off an incredible 2026–2026 season, and I am honored to build upon the solid foundation already established. Last season, our cheerleaders represented Alamo Heights with tremendous pride and excellence throughout the year. At the UIL State Competition, the program earned an impressive third-place finish, along with Best in Category for Fight Song. Our teams continued their success at the national level in Orlando, where our JV Game Day team captured a national championship and our Varsity team earned sixth place in an extremely competitive division against some of the best programs in the country. These accomplishments are a reflection of the talent, dedication, and commitment that exist within this program. While competition is an important part of what we do, cheerleading is about so much more than what happens on the competition floor. Our athletes have the opportunity to develop confidence, leadership, discipline, resilience, and a genuine sense of responsibility to something bigger than themselves. They represent Alamo Heights at football games, pep rallies, competitions, and throughout our school community, and they have the unique privilege of being both competitors and supporters. One of the things I am most excited about this season is embracing that role. Cheerleaders have a front-row seat to so many of the special moments that make high school athletics memorable. We get to celebrate victories, encourage our athletes through challenges, create energy in the stands, and support teams across our entire athletic program. Being part of the spirit of Alamo Heights means showing up, bringing enthusiasm, and making sure our athletes know that their community is behind them. I am incredibly proud to be a Mule and cannot wait to see what this season has in store. Thank you to our athletes, families, coaches, teachers, administrators, and entire Alamo Heights community for the support you give our program and all of our student-athletes. Go Mules! Coach Tiffany Stratton

In 2007, my team won the class 4A UIL State Softball Championship.

ASSISTANT COACH

HOLLY HERRINGTON

I am so excited to enter my 9th year as an assistant softball coach at Alamo Heights High School! I fell in love with softball when I was 10 years old. My favorite thing to do was spend the evenings outside pitching with my dad! He made an excellent bullpen catcher! I moved to San Antonio after spending my first year teaching and coaching in Crane, Texas. I am originally from Odessa and chose to stay close to home when deciding where I would continue my education. I played for two years at Midland College before transferring to the University of Texas-Permian Basin. I graduated from UTPB with a Bachelor's Degree in History. It is so much fun getting to share my love for history everyday with my students! I recently graduated with a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from West Texas A&M University. Lastly, I am SO ready for a great 20252026 school year! MULES UP!

BOYS SOCCER 2026-2027 HEAD COACH

JASON PEREZ

This will be my 7th year leading the Alamo Heights Boys Soccer team, and my 17th year as an educator and soccer coach. We have a remarkable group of kids in our program that put in the hard work day in and day out to make our community proud. We are looking forward to a thrilling year, as we have a veteran group of returners and some hungry new faces. We are excited to see how the Class of 2027 leads our program this year! Prior to Alamo Heights, I spent 2 years at San Antonio LEE High School as an Assistant Coach. In my time with the team, we won back to back district titles, regional appearances, and were runners-up in the 2019 State Tournament. Prior to LEE HS, I spent 6 years as the Head Soccer Coach at New Braunfels HS. During that time, we built a competitive program through a developmental philosophy that puts value in players at all levels of the program. In my final 3 years as Head Coach, the Varsity team was consecutive District Runner-ups, consecutive playoff berths, Bi-District Champions (2016), and SA Express News Top 10 teams in San Antonio. Our JV group was similarly competitive,winning 3 consecutive District Championships. I started my career at my Alma Mater, San Angelo Central High School as an assistant for 3 years. I am a graduate of the University of Texas (‘07) where I earned a BS in Chemistry, lettered in football, and was a 2005 National Champion. In my graduate studies, I earned an M.Ed. in Sports Management from Angelo State University. I currently hold a USSF license, and am certified as a NAUI advanced SCUBA diver. I am blessed to be married to the love of my life Melanie Perez, who is a Health Science teacher at Smithson Valley HS, and recently completed her School Counseling degree,in addition to being an Athletic Trainer. Our 7 year old daughter Meredith just will be starting 2nd Grade, and our 5 year old daughter Madelynn is making waves in the Pre-K circuit. They are the center of our world, and they coexist with our 5 fur baby siblings.

MULES ILLUSTRATED

Dear Alamo Heights Soccer Fans, Welcome to the 2026–27 Alamo Heights Boys Soccer Season! The anticipation and excitement is building, the work is just beginning, and our Mules are gearing up to compete at a high level. This season, our goal is simple: to challenge ourselves, embrace every opportunity to grow, push beyond expectations, and to be the most competitive team on the pitch!. We know that success is earned through dedication, discipline, relentless effort, and a belief in one another. I could not be more proud of the commitment these young men have shown to becoming better players, better teammates, and a stronger program. Every day, they train with enthusiasm, intensity, and camaraderie—the Mule Way! This year, we have placed a tremendous emphasis on building a team culture worthy of a championship. We want our preparation, our passion, and our style of play to be on full display every time we step onto the field. And we want you there with us. To every parent, family member, student, alumnus, and Alamo Heights supporter who fills the stands and cheers from the sidelines—thank you. Your energy matters. Your voices matter. Your support gives our players an extra level of motivation and reminds them that they are representing something bigger than themselves. We are grateful for the incredible community that stands behind our boys. This season, we look to earn a district title and get back in the hunt for post season championships. Expect to see a dynamic, confident, and exciting style of soccer. Our student-athletes are committed to maintaining the highest standard of play established by the teams that came before us while continuing to build a legacy of our own. We will compete with purpose, play with pride, and represent Alamo Heights with class, character, and sportsmanship. Most importantly, we hope our players understand the responsibility and privilege that comes with wearing the AH Mule logo. We want them to be leaders and role models for the next generation of Alamo Heights Mules—showing younger athletes that with hard work, belief, and a willingness to push beyond their comfort zones, they can achieve more than they ever imagined. This is our time. This is our team. This is the Mule Way. Thank you for believing in us, supporting us, and being part of our journey. We cannot wait to share this season with you. Here’s to an unforgettable season! Mules Up! Coach Jason Perez

GIRLS SOCCER 2026-2027 HEAD COACH

CHARLEY GILBERT I have been coaching soccer for 22 years and have had the opportunity to work with players at many different levels of the game. My coaching experience includes club and school soccer coach, serving as a Director of Coaching for a soccer club, and working as an assistant coach with a semi-professional U20 team. These experiences have helped shape my philosophy of developing players not only as athletes, but also as confident, disciplined, and accountable young people. I have been part of the Alamo Heights ISD community for the past 10 years. This is my first year at Alamo Heights High School, following nine years at Alamo Heights Junior School, where I coached both the boys' and girls' soccer programs. I am excited to continue serving the Alamo Heights community and to build on the relationships and experiences developed throughout my time in the district.

2026 Season Recap The 2026 Boys Lacrosse team had another outstanding season, finishing 13-4 and advancing to the THSLL Class B State Semifinals. The Mules battled through a competitive postseason and ultimately fell to the eventual State Champions in the semifinal round. The season marked another major step forward for the program as Alamo Heights continued to establish itself as one of the top teams in the state. With a strong group of young talent returning, the Mules are well positioned to build on the success of 2026 and make another run at a state championship in 2027. The 2026 Girls Lacrosse team stepped into a new challenge in the spring, moving up to the Division II league and proving they belonged among the best. In their first season at the new level, the team found tremendous success, competing with confidence and earning a spot in the State Quarterfinals in Houston. Beyond the wins and accomplishments on the field, this season was about continuing to build a strong team culture and creating traditions that brought our players, families, and community together. From our firstever Parents Practice to celebrating our seniors during Senior Week, the team created memories that will last well beyond the season. We are incredibly proud of what this group accomplished in its first year in Division II and excited to continue building on that success. With a strong foundation, a growing program, and new traditions underway, the future of Alamo Heights Girls Lacrosse is bright!
