Every day is an adventure and I hope this website can help students and their parents have a link into the classroom from home. Communication is a big key to motivating students and reminding them of the path needed for success.Mr. and Mrs. Duez live in nearby Kingwood and have a wonderful son named Aidan.

As Mr. Duez always says, "DFTBA: Don't Forget To Be Awesome!" Some days he feels a great deal less than awesome, but he has to remember to reach deep down inside and bring out his very best.
