Administration

I had the incredible honor of opening West Fork High School in August of 2022, and it has been a true joy to lead this campus as we’ve grown each year. Now entering our fourth school year — and our very first year with a senior class — I’m filled with pride and excitement for what lies ahead as we celebrate the original Gators, the Class of 2026.

I’ve been committed to serving the families of New Caney ISD for over 25 years, working as a teacher, assistant principal, associate principal, and middle school principal. New Caney ISD is more than just where I work — it’s home. My own three children have attended all three of our district’s comprehensive high schools, giving me a deep appreciation for the quality of education and community spirit we offer.

I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Arlington and my master’s degree in Educational Administration from Lamar University. Each day, I’m driven by the opportunity to build meaningful traditions and expand opportunities for our students through academic programs, extracurriculars, and a strong school culture.

Outside of school, I enjoy reading, relaxing at the lake, and spending quality time with my family. I’m honored to continue this journey with our Gator community and can’t wait to see the legacy our first graduating class will leave behind.

Hello, Gators!

This marks my 18th year in education, including eleven years with New Caney ISD and six years of teaching experience prior to that. I hold a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Houston and a Master’s degree in Education with a concentration in Counseling from the University of St. Thomas. I am also a Licensed Professional Counselor and hold a Principal as Instructional Leader Certification from Lamar University. Before transitioning into education, I spent a decade working in the information technology industry.

I’m also a proud parent of two amazing young adults. My daughter is a graduate of Texas State University and has been working as a Special Education teacher for the past two years. My son is entering his senior year at Tarleton State University, where he is a student-athlete on the baseball team. Additionally, I am blessed with two bonus children and a granddaughter who bring much joy to my life.

Helping to open West Fork High School in 2022 has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. I have been honored to serve as the Dean of Instruction since our campus first opened its doors. From day one, we have worked diligently to build a strong, positive culture among staff and students—one that is grounded in our core values of gratitude, accountability, trustworthiness, optimism, respect, and service. As proud Original Gators, we are excited to be approaching a major milestone: the graduation of our first senior class—the Class of 2026—this coming May. I remain committed to working in partnership with our students, families, and community to ensure every West Fork student is equipped to face the REALITY of tomorrow with confidence.

Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead!

Greetings, Gators!

I am Corey Perkins, Sr., Associate Principal here at the amazing West Fork High School!                                                                                                                                            

I am a native of Lake Charles, Louisiana.  I received my Bachelor’s degree from Northeast University and my Masters degree from Lamar University. I have 24 years of experience in Education as a Teacher, Coach, and Assistant Principal. It has been my honor to serve in New Caney ISD for 11 years. I believe as an educator I should lead by example and build positive working relationships. My wife and I are the proud parents of two sons who are both graduates of New Caney ISD.

I am excited to be a part of the West Fork Family where our students are the REALITY of Tomorrow. As we embark upon this new school year, I am looking forward to establishing a tradition of excellence and pride within our staff and students!                       
 

Geaux Gators!

Hello, Gators!

I’m thrilled to be serving as the Assistant Principal at West Fork High School! 

I’ve been part of New Caney ISD for ten years and am proud to be entering my 20th year in education.

I received my Bachelors from the University of Houston–Downtown and continued my studies at Sam Houston State University, where I earned my Master’s in Education and Principal Instructional Leader Certification.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of teaching 4th–6th grade ELA.  I have also served in various leadership roles, including Assistant Principal, 504 Coordinator, and Testing Coordinator at Woodridge Forest Middle School. 

I’m honored to join the West Fork family and look forward to working together to support West Fork’s vision. 

Vision-West Fork High School will prepare students for the reality of tomorrow by providing students skills, knowledge, and attitudes that are essential for a purposeful and productive life. 

Let’s go be great, Gators!

My name is Langston Patterson, your new Assistant Principal and I am eager to meet and get to know all of you! Previously, I have served in roles such as Assistant Principal of Operations, Assistant Principal, Special Education Life Skills Teacher, and Special Education Inclusion Teacher across Houston ISD, Spring Branch ISD, and Cleveland ISD. I entered teaching 10 years ago with a bachelor’s degree in Human Performance from Prairie View A&M University, which shaped my “why” for public education as a pillar of service and equity. I hold a master’s degree in Special Education and Educational Administration from Lamar University and am currently pursuing a PhD in Educational Management with a K-12 concentration at Hampton University. Originally from the Houston area, I grew up in Cypress, TX. My wife, Jessica, and I have three daughters: Preslie, who is in 8th grade, Colbie, who is going to Kindergarten, and Lanie Joie, who was born this July 13th. As a family, we enjoy card games, traveling, swimming, and family movie nights. Personally, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, playing sports, and encouraging others.

I am extremely grateful to be transitioning into the role of Assistant Principal at West Fork High School. This is my 17th year in education, all in New Caney ISD, where I have had the privilege of serving as a classroom teacher and as a counselor at both the middle and high school levels. I also had the honor of helping open West Fork High School as the lead counselor.

I am a proud graduate of New Caney ISD and am grateful to give back to a district that has given so much to me. My husband Jeremy and I have two children who attend New Caney ISD schools.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology, followed by my teaching certificate, a master’s degree in school counseling, and my principal certification. My background in psychology and counseling continues to shape my whole-child approach to leadership.

When I am not on campus, I enjoy reading and spending quality time with my family.

I am honored to serve the community that shaped my own educational journey and am committed to ensuring every student at West Fork High School feels supported, valued, and prepared for success after high school. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Go Gators!

I am honored to be starting my second year at West Fork High School and my 20th year in education. Throughout my career, I have served in leadership roles including Assistant Principal, Athletic Director, Assistant Athletic Director, teacher, and coach. These experiences have strengthened my belief in the power of relationships, high expectations, and student-centered leadership.

I earned my undergraduate degree from East Texas A&M University and a Master of Education from Lamar University. My passion is helping students and staff grow, and I’m committed to creating a positive, supportive environment where everyone can succeed.

Outside of school, I enjoy traveling with my family and spending time with our bulldog, Lucy. My wife, Moorea, and I have three grown children — Jade, Kobe, and Mikayla — and we are proud grandparents to our grandson, Kolson.

I look forward to continuing to serve the West Fork community and helping our students thrive.
