When Natasha Harris was named principal of Hale Elementary in Arlington ISD the week before school started, she knew that the year ahead would be challenging, yet exciting. Raised in small-town Texas, Natasha’s struggles growing up mirrored the lives of her students today. Driven to serve them to the best of her ability, Natasha set about creating a culture where staff are motivated, trusted, and empowered to do what’s best for students and support each other – especially when life throws curveballs.
