Western Hills Highlights the Leaders Shaping the Next Generation.

Black History Month at Western Hills High School is not just about looking back. It is about recognizing the leaders students see every day.

Walk the halls, and you will find excellence in real time.

Mrs. Adkins, a Jarvis Christian College graduate, began her career in 1995 and quickly discovered her passion for counseling. She understood early that students need more than academic support, and she stepped into that space.

Coach Clark, a Fort Worth native and UTA graduate, has spent decades shaping young lives. A former standout student athlete at Polytechnic High School, he and his wife, Angela, have dedicated nearly 30 years to education.

Coach Harrison, a Grambling State University graduate, brings 11 years of experience and a steady belief that perspective shapes success. His journey from Louisiana to Western Hills now impacts students daily.

The strength of this campus runs deep.

Ms. Hooks, trained in child psychology and a University of Central Oklahoma graduate, has served as a teacher, instructional coach, and consultant.

Mrs. Ramsey, a licensed clinical social worker with degrees from Rust College and Washington University, spent 20 years serving students before joining this community.

Ms. Dean, a first-generation college graduate from UTA, represents the next generation of leaders in student support.

Mrs. Berry brings more than a decade of social work experience and a heart for child development.

On the athletic side, leadership is just as strong.

Coach Goodman, a Texas A&M graduate and proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., reminds students that their beginnings do not limit their future.

Coach Foster, with 24 years in education and two decades in Fort Worth ISD, continues to lead with experience and pride in his heritage.

Coach Washington, a University of North Texas graduate, balances coaching, teaching, and family life while mentoring students toward maturity and discipline.

Mrs. Smith, a UTA and Tarleton State graduate, has spent 20 years in education after earlier work teaching GED courses.

Mrs. Correa, a first-generation American, connects with students through creativity and authenticity.

Doc Lane, a Mississippi native and Ole Miss graduate in athletic training, pours energy into student athletes and reminds them that faith and hard work open doors.

Together, these educators and coaches tell a larger story. Black excellence at Western Hills is not a slogan. It is the counselor who listens, the teacher who stays late, the coach who pushes harder, and the mentor who refuses to let students settle.

At Western Hills, excellence is part of the daily routine.
