Student Council Advisor

Hello Coleman Longhorns! 

My name is LaConya Ponder and this is my 8th year as an educator and my 1st year in CHISD. I am happy to call Bessie Coleman MS my new home. This is also the first year for the Teen Leadership course which I am ecstatic about. Teen Leadership is designed to help your child become a quality leader with a strong sense of who they are and where they are going. Bessie Coleman administrators, teachers, and staff place a high value on our students and want to help them develop personal, relational, and leadership skills. I believe all students have the ability to become future leaders and I am here to help mold them and help them reach their full potential.

“Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.”  ― Malcolm X
