About Me
Jimmy Houle, 5th Grade Teacher - I’m thrilled to be joining the Rowlett family and bringing my energy, creativity and love for literacy to a school that truly celebrates student voice and innovation. With experience teaching both 3rd and 5th grade, I’ve worked with diverse learners- including ESE. ELL, and twice-exceptional students-using research-based strategies, data-driven instruction, and a lot of heart. Before the classroom, I served as Director of Leadership at Florida Southern College, where I helped design professional development and growth opportunities for student leaders. I’ve also presented at state and national conferences on literacy and school-university partnerships-but nothing beats the joy of a great read-aloud or a lightbulb moment with a student. I’m also really excited to be closer to the beach (sunshine and saltwater are my love languages), and even more excited to grow roots in such a vibrant and welcoming school. I can’t wait to collaborate, learn, and add to the magic that makes Rowlett such a special place!
