257. From Mentee to Mentor: Featuring LeBronte Hoover

I am absolutely delighted to introduce a remarkable individual whom I've had the privilege of mentoring for an incredible three-year journey. Witnessing his growth and evolution as a leader has been truly inspiring, and I couldn't be prouder of his remarkable transition into the realm of educational administration. Our guest today is none other than LeBronte Hoover, who is embarking on his second year as an Assistant Principal in Frisco, Texas. Get ready for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at his incredible journey, as he shares his insights and experiences, taking us from his roots as a teacher and coach to his current role as a dedicated administrator.
Episode Highlights:
About LeBronte Hoover: My name is LeBronte Hoover and I'm very excited to be a guest on the ASPIRE to Lead Podcast. My career in education began 12 years ago (2011) in my hometown of Natchitoches, La as a substitute teacher and coach. After completing alternate certification, I moved on to full time teacher and coach at the highschool level. My family and I relocated to Frisco, Tx in 2018 where I continued to teach and coach at the middle school level. I began my journey into Administration in 2020 when I decided to go back to school to pursue a Master’s in Educational Leadership and take some additional roles on my campus to enhance my knowledge of how a school functions. Once I completed the certification requirements to be an Administrator in 2022, I received my first opportunity to serve as Assistant Principal in Richardson ISD at a junior high school. Now I’m currently serving as an Assistant Principal at the high school level in Frisco ISD.
