Rice University Principals

Two Spring Branch ISD principals and an assistant principal are enrolled and studying in the 2012-13 Business Fellowship for School Leaders, sponsored by Rice University’s Education Entrepreneurship Program (REEP).

Campus leaders who are enrolled in the REEP program include Principals Jane Green at Frostwood Elementary and Gary Henry at Valley Oaks Elementary. Belinda Henry, who serves as an assistant principal at Valley Oaks Elementary, is also enrolled.

The REEP Business Fellowship Program is recognized as one of the country’s premier K-12 leadership initiatives. A one-year business training program taught through the Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business, REEP is designed for both elementary and secondary educators who seek to apply a business school theory and approach to issues in the public school setting.

Raise Your Hand Texas, a statewide advocacy group for public education, partnered this year with six Houston-area school districts to sponsor 20 principals for this Rice-based program. Tuitions were also paid for principals through the Raise Your Hand organization.
