Principal Appreciation Month - Eric Sams

 

How many years have you served in education?
This is my 16th year in education.

Where are you originally from? 
Fort Worth, Texas

 

Favorite sports team? 
The TCU Horned Frogs!

 

What would be impossible for you to give up?
It would be impossible for me to give up Bar-B-Q.

 

If you could have one superpower, what would it be and why? 
I would like to master the Force.  I guess rather than a superpower, I’d be more into Jedi powers.

 

What “lesson from mom” do you still live by? 
It is cliché, but so true…“Treat others as you would want to be treated.“ 

 

What is your favorite ice cream flavor? 
Blue Bell’s Tin Roof...can't wait til it's back on the shelf!

 

Describe yourself in 3 words.  
Funny, Loyal, Curious.

 

Tell us about your family. 
I am married to the love of my life, Karen.  We have two awesome boys, Wyatt (5) and Levi (3 months).

 

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? 
I would love to go to Alaska. 

 

Name one thing that many people don’t know about you.
I love trivia.

 

What do you love most about working in public education?  
I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with young people and see them mature and learn.  Every year, I see young men and women begin to think critically about the world around them.  It is truly fun to work with students of this age because they have so much zest for life.  You really see a huge jump in maturity from August to May.  It is great to be a part of that.
