Meet Michael McDonough

I believe in the promise of public education, and I’ve spent my career helping students and schools live up to that promise. Thirty-three years ago, Houston ISD took a chance on me fresh out of the University of Houston. I began my career teaching 7th-grade math at Attucks Middle School, then taught Algebra and Geometry—and coached soccer—at Westbury High School. From there, I served as principal at Pin Oak Middle School, Westside High School, and Bellaire High School. My commitment to this district is also personal. My wife spent 17 years as the registrar at Pershing, and our two daughters are proud graduates of HISD. I’ve experienced this district at its best. Read more here.
