Disponible en:

Darrell Ross has been named the new principal of Eisenhower Ninth Grade School. Ross will start on Tuesday, September 20, 2022.

Ross brings 30+ years of experience in education, with many of those years serving as a campus leader. He is also familiar with Aldine ISD, having served as a teacher and coach at MacArthur HS. Ross is rejoining Aldine ISD after serving as assistant principal of B.F. Terry HS with Lamar Consolidated Independent School District in Rosenberg.

Ross began his career in education at Bellaire High School in Houston in 1988 as an English teacher and coach of boys’ varsity basketball and assistant coach of the track teams.

A year later, he moved to Louisiana to serve as an English instructor and coach of the boys’ basketball team at Grambling State University Laboratory High School. That year, the team won the State Championship.

His career has led him to serve as assistant principal, associate principal, and principal in several schools across the country. Ross had stints in Flint, Michigan; Houston, TX; and Oakland, CA.

“My mission is to bridge the gap from high school to college and career by equipping educators to empower students. In turn, students become self-motivated learners who empower others to succeed,” said Ross.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from Ouachita Baptist University and a master’s degree in education/art of teaching from Marygrove College. Ross also has a principal certification (EC-12) in Texas and California. He was honorably discharged from the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.
