strive to raise the level of education and
excellence of those in positions of serving our
children and communities.

career she has nurtured her student’s souls and
instilled in them a fundamental love of music.
Pam graduated with a Bachelors of Music Education

attended Texas Women’s University for advanced
musical training which has enabled her to strengthen
her teaching skills, which has been rewarded with
numerous outstanding achievement and recognition
awards. Pam and her husband, David, who is also a
former music Hero Award winner, are tireless
community advocates for the fine arts.
