National Principals Month: Tina Guidry
To celebrate National Principals Month, we’re sharing some fun facts about our amazing school administrators. Today you’ll learn more about Mrs. Tina Guidry, principal of Bayou Blue Elementary School.
Here’s the inside scoop on Mrs. Guidry:
🐔 She’s been a principal for 13 years.
🐔 She says the most rewarding part of being a principal is it broadened the scope of impact she was able to have as a teacher with her students to being able to have that impact with staff, parents, community, and other colleagues in the school system by being able to help, encourage, show support and compassion, guide and lead, build relationships, and push for growth and progress, never letting anyone give up in making their mark on the world.
🐔 English was her favorite subject in school because she loved her teacher. “She made learning poetry and reading literature and talking about themes, and writing meaningful essays so mesmerizing that I wanted to be just like her, so I became a high school English teacher.”
🐔 Her favorite school lunch is sausage and potato stew.
🐔 Traveling around the world is on her bucket list.
🐔 Outside of work she loves hanging out by her pool with her family and her dog and cat, dancing, singing, watching movies and enjoying coffee from all the different coffee spots.
🐔 Fun Fact: Most people don't know that she’s from Baton Rouge originally and loves LSU. “I bleed purple and gold!”
