New principal Elementary School to "Howe Intermediate School." Last week Howe ISD hired Tammy Witten to take fill the role of principal and she was in town to get acclimated to the new campus and the new school district.

She met her husband Darrin of 30 years during her junior year in high school. He would later graduate from Texas State Technical College where she followed him to Waco before he received a job at Tom Light Chevrolet in Bryan, Texas. During that time in College Station, Tammy Witten decided to go back to school and become a teacher. Graduating from Texas A&M, she landed her first job in 1998 at Navasota ISD as a fourthgrade math and science teacher for two years before moving schools to College Station teaching third grade and an instructional coach for four years working with staff development. She then became an assistant principal at Splendora Elementary for two years which the first year was a grades 3-5 campus that transitioned to a kindergarten through fifth grade campus.

"I like that age, and I know it sounds weird, but I like the state testing and I like to get involved in that," said Witten. With the changes of bringing fifth grade back to the Roberts Street campus, Witten was meeting with team leaders last week in preparations of where the classrooms will be. "There's going to be a little bit of a facelift to this campus," said Witten. She says the favorite thing about being a principal are her interactions with the kids. "Whenever you make a difference with them, whether it's something you're working with them academically or whether there's a behavior situation, if you can help them find a solution to where they don't feel like they're alone in what their problems are, it's rewarding," said Witten. In twenty years in education, Witten says the challenges today are different than two decades ago.

"Socialization with students and their empathy toward other people is a lot different than it used to be," She then became the principal at said Witten.
