At its regular board meeting on Nov. 18, Aldine ISD officially swore in three newly elected trustees: Angela Williams (Position 3), Steve Moore (Position 4), and Nataly Pérez (Position 5).

The new trustees were elected during the Nov. 4 general election, bringing fresh leadership and perspectives to the district of more than 52,000 students.

Angela E. Williams

Angela Williams’s extensive experience in student support and leadership development highlights her dedication to fostering student success. She currently serves as an academic completion specialist and parent empowerment liaison in Spring ISD, where she works closely with campus teams to support graduation planning, re-engage students at risk of dropping out, and strengthen communication between schools and families.

In her role, Williams collaborates with counselors, administrators, and community partners to connect students and families with essential resources. She also leads parent empowerment workshops and guides districtwide efforts supporting teen parents, homeless students, and students seeking alternative learning pathways. Alongside her student support work, she sponsors the student government and mentors young women through the Step Up initiative. She directs the cheer program to help build a positive campus culture.

Before stepping into her current district-level role, Williams taught world history at Westfield High School, where she served as team lead, senior class advisor, and Key Club advisor. She is known for building strong relationships with students, creating meaningful learning experiences, and contributing to programs that enhance school climate.

Williams holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Mississippi Valley State University and two master’s degrees from Jackson State University.

“Let us know what you want … to move forward as the district is moving forward. We’ll continue to be creative and continue to be innovative. The bottom line is building relationships in our schools. We as board members need to be visible, making our community members aware that we are serving alongside them — everyone is of importance.”

Steve Moore

Moore was elected to Position 4, filling the seat of retiring trustee Conception “Connie” Esparza, who served for eight years. He brings a diverse background in engineering, higher education, business leadership, and community service. He holds advanced degrees in physics, materials science, and business, and previously taught as a university professor before co-founding VSC Management LLC and Villa Serena Communities.

His experience includes coordinating emergency housing during Hurricane Harvey, collaborating with law enforcement on safety initiatives, and volunteering with organizations serving youth, including the Greater Houston Police Activities League and Ambassadors for Christ Youth Ministries.

As a trustee, Moore has expressed interest in strengthening classroom support, expanding academic opportunities, and helping students develop career and personal skills needed for future success. He also emphasized the importance of enhancing career and technical education.

Moore lives in the Greenspoint/North Houston area, residing in one of the communities his company manages—reflecting what he describes as a commitment to accountability and community investment.

Nataly Pérez

Nataly Pérez replaces longtime trustee Steve Mead in Position 5. A lifelong Houstonian and MacArthur High School graduate, she has lived in the Aldine area since the 1990s. After more than 15 years as a certified medical assistant, Pérez transitioned into community service in 2018, joining the East Aldine Management District, where she helped connect families to vital resources and worked closely with local partners. She now serves at Lone Star College, where she has seen firsthand the importance of access, wraparound support, and educational pathways for students.

Pérez said her experiences in healthcare, community outreach, and higher education have shaped her belief that supporting students begins with supporting families. She hopes to bring a strong, empathetic community voice to the Board.

“I’ve always had a heart for helping people. My work in Aldine has shown me how much families can thrive when they feel heard and supported,” Pérez said. “Board members should be present in our neighborhoods, listening to parents, teachers, students, and staff. I want our community to know I’m approachable and here to serve.”

As a parent of four — including two currently in college — Pérez said she understands the hopes and challenges families face. She is particularly passionate about mental health support, student safety, and recognizing the contributions of the district’s frontline workers.

“We’re here, we’re present, and we want to make a difference,” added Pérez. “Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and I want every family in Aldine to feel included in that work.” 

Commitment to Community Leadership

Aldine ISD Superintendent Dr. LaTonya M. Goffney said the three new trustees bring a valuable range of experiences and perspectives.

“At its regular board meeting on Nov. 18, Aldine ISD officially swore in three newly elected trustees. We are excited to welcome Nataly, Steve, and Angela to the Board of Trustees,” said Goffney. “Their commitment to service and their belief in our students, families, staff, and our community will help shape the future of Aldine ISD.”

All three newly elected trustees emphasized their roles as community servants dedicated to improving outcomes for all Aldine students.

Seven elected community members, serving four-year terms, comprise the Aldine ISD Board of Education. Board members serve on a voluntary basis and are responsible for providing oversight, setting policy, adopting the district budget, and supporting the superintendent.
