It is with great excitement that I return to serve as Principal of Alcott Elementary School. This opportunity holds special meaning for me, as I have had the privilege of building strong partnerships with our families and community during my time here from 2019 to 2023.

My journey in education began in 2006, when I started as a classroom teacher in my hometown of Noxubee County, MS. After relocating to Houston in 2008, I have been fortunate to call Houston ISD my professional home. Over the past 18 years, I have had the honor of serving in various roles, including Teacher, Intervention Specialist, Teacher Development Specialist, Teacher Specialist, and Assistant Principal.

Championing for children is what I consider to be “heart work.” My ongoing mission is to ensure that all children have access to an outstanding school, dedicated teachers, and equitable opportunities that will have a lasting, positive impact on each of their lives.

As we move forward together, I am excited to see the continued success of the Alcott community. Together, we will inspire, impact, and influence the lives of EVERY child, EVERY day.

Thank you for your continued support. I am eager to work alongside each of you in this important journey.

Warm regards,

Delandra D. Mickens
Principal
Alcott Elementary School
