Administration

My name is Brittany Horton, and I am entering my fifth year in New Caney ISD and my fifteenth year in education. My career has been driven by a singular passion of supporting the growth and success of both students and teachers.

I am a proud alumna of East Texas Baptist University, where I competed as a soccer student-athlete while earning my bachelor's degree. I later furthered my education at Lamar University, where I obtained my Master’s in Education and certification as a Principal Instructional Leader.

My diverse background in education includes teaching high school sciences (biology, anatomy and physiology, and aquatics) and coaching multiple sports, including soccer, basketball, volleyball, track, and cheerleading. My leadership journey includes serving as a student success coach and assistant principal right here at West Fork High School, as well as the dean of instruction at Keefer Crossing Middle School. Each of these experiences has truly prepared me to lead the campus with vision and purpose.

I am incredibly excited to continue the intentional culture of student learning and achievement at WFHS. Go Gators!

Hello, Gators!

Welcome to another exciting school year at West Fork High School!

This marks my 19th year in education, including twelve years with New Caney ISD and six years of teaching experience prior to joining the district. 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 is currently in the process of becoming a flight attendant. My son graduated from Tarleton State University this past May, where he was a student-athlete on the baseball team. I am also blessed with two bonus children and a granddaughter who bring tremendous joy to my life.

Helping to open West Fork High School in 2022 has been one of the greatest honors of my career. I have been privileged to serve as the Dean of Instruction since our campus first opened its doors. Together, our staff and students have worked intentionally to build a school culture grounded in our core values of gratitude, accountability, trustworthiness, optimism, respect, and service.

This past May, we proudly celebrated a historic milestone by graduating West Fork High School's first graduating class—the Class of 2026. Watching our Original Gators cross the stage was a truly unforgettable moment and a testament to the dedication of our students, staff, families, and community. As we begin this new school year, we are excited to enter Chapter 2 in the history of West Fork High School and continue building upon the strong foundation we have established.

I remain committed to partnering with our students, families, staff, and community to ensure every West Fork student is equipped to face the REALITY of tomorrow with confidence.

Here's to another fantastic school year. Go Gators!
