Brittany Horton
Hello, Gator Family! My name is Brittany McCloskey, and I am thrilled to be entering my third year at West Fork High School and New Caney ISD. With 13 years of experience in education, I have had the privilege of supporting both student and teacher success in various capacities.
I am a proud alumni of East Texas Baptist University, where I was a student-athlete playing soccer and earning my bachelor's degree. I furthered my education at Lamar University, where I obtained my Master's in Education and Certification as a Principal Instructional Leader.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to teach Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, and Aquatics, and co-teach in a variety of subjects. My passion for athletics has led me to roles as head soccer coach and assistant coach for basketball, volleyball, track, and cheerleading.
Last year, I served as the Student Success Coach at West Fork High School. I am excited to be able to continue supporting and serving our students and teachers in this new role as assistant principal. Being an Original Gator has been an incredible experience, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue growing with our West Fork family.
Let's make this our best year yet, Gators, by continuing to create a culture of student learning and success
