My name is Stacy Smith, I have been in the education field for eleven years. I began my career as a pre-k teacher in San Antonio. I then joined Poteet as a fourth-grade teacher. Previously, I taught third grade in Somerset ISD. This will be my seventh year in Poteet and my first year as an instructional specialist at Poteet Intermediate Campus I graduated from UTSA with a Bachelors's in Education and obtained my Masters's in Educational Leadership in 2022 from Walden University. I am married, have three children and enjoy spending my free time with them. I look forward to continuing my career in PISD and ensuring our students reach their full potential.

My name is Hope Tellez. I am the Instructional Specialist for Poteet Jr. High. This is my 4th year as an Instructional Specialist for Poteet ISD and my 20th year in Education.
