Ms. Highfill
My name is Amanda Highfill and I am excited to join and serve the Versia Williams community. I was born and raised in North Fort Worth, and at the age of 9 years old I knew I wanted to become a teacher. A few years later, I developed a love for exceptional children, and desired to work to grow every learner no matter their ability. I graduated from the University of Texas and became a special education teacher. As I begin this new chapter as an Assistant Principal, and my 10th year as an educator in FWISD, the social-emotional and academic success of each child will remain my focus by growing and leading teachers.
At the University of Texas, our motto was “What starts here, changes the world.” My core belief is that EVERY child at Versia Williams has the potential to change the world in different ways. I look forward to leading and growing the students, staff, and community this school year as we strive for excellence for every student.
If you have questions or concerns, please email me at amanda.highfill@fwisd.org or stop by the office.
