Dear Ethel M. Young Elementary School Community,

As a military child who has traveled around the world and attended many different schools, I understand what it means to find a sense of belonging and feel at home wherever you are. Every school I attended became a place where I felt safe, supported, and valued. It is this same feeling I want for every student at Ethel M. Young Elementary School—to always feel a sense of community, safety, and inclusion.

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I serve as the principal of Ethel M. Young Elementary. I am deeply committed to our district’s mission and honored to lead this wonderful school community. To prepare myself for this role, I continued my education at Prairie View A&M University, equipping myself with the knowledge and passion needed to inspire and support students, staff, and families

With over 23 years of experience in education—as a classroom teacher, instructional coach at both district and campus levels, and school leader—I am dedicated to fostering a culture rooted in high expectations, academic achievement, and meaningful relationships. I believe that collaboration is essential, and I will work hand-in-hand with our staff, families, and community partners to ensure each student is nurtured, challenged, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Guided by a strong commitment to equity and student development, I approach leadership with a student-centered focus. My goal is to provide all children with access to quality instruction, a safe and caring environment, and the opportunities they need to grow into confident, capable learners and future leaders.

I am excited to partner with each of you this school year. Together, I pray we will equip our Young Bees with the tools and confidence they need to succeed today and in the future.

With gratitude and anticipation,
Selene Rogers
Principal, Ethel M. Young Elementary School
