Before that he was a Criminal Justice teacher at Ronald Reagan High School in San Antonio for four years and was the Safe & Drug Free Schools coordinator for Dahlstrom Middle School in Hays CISD for a year.
He has also worked as a Grant Specialist at Texas State University where he managed a youth advisory board for the Texas Department of Health’s Office of Tobacco Prevention and Control, developed and managed statewide youth leadership conferences and camps, and developed curriculum.
He said, “I have spent the majority of my career working with young people and enjoy the opportunities they bring. I have experience in administration, teacher mentoring, classroom management, youth leadership, drug prevention and school safety, and I am honored to have this opportunity to work with Goodnight Middle School.”
De Leon graduated from high school in Bay City and earned his Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice from Wayland Baptist University.
He went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Management-Vocational Technical Education with a minor in Educational Administration from Texas State University – San Marcos.
Goodnight Principal Steve Dow said that 64 candidates submitted applications for the posted position, and a campus based committee of administrators, teachers and parents screened and interviewed eight of those applicants.
“The committee believes that they have made the best choice in selecting Mark De Leon as the new assistant principal, and we welcome him to his new educational home,” Dow said.
