Trustees approve new assistant superintendent for teaching and learning

Posted

Katy school trustees Monday approved Sanée Bell as the new assistant superintendent for teaching and learning.

Bell previously served as executive director for secondary teaching and learning. She has more than 22 years of educational experience, most of which was spent in Katy.

Bell began her career in 2000 as an eighth-grade language arts teacher in Louisville, Ky. Two years later, she moved to Texas and joined Katy High School as an English teacher and basketball coach.

In 2005, Bell was promoted to assistant principal at West Memorial Junior High and then, in 2008, transferred to WoodCreek Junior High to serve in the same capacity.

One of Bell’s aspirations was to lead a campus, and her professional goal became a reality in 2011 when she was named the principal of Cimarron Elementary. During her five-year tenure at Cimarron, Bell was recognized as the 2015 Katy ISD Elementary Principal of the Year.

In 2016, she became the principal of Morton Ranch Junior High until she was named the executive director of secondary teaching and learning in 2021.

“Katy ISD has always held a special place in my heart,” Bell said. “To serve such a thriving and diverse school district is an honor that I cherish dearly. In this new role, I, along with the other team members that compose the Teaching and Learning Division, will focus on ensuring that the more than 90,000 students we support are engaging in learning experiences that prepare them for their future.”

Bell holds a bachelor’s degree in English and Allied Language Arts from Western Kentucky University, as well as a master’s degree in Educational Management and a doctorate in educational leadership with an emphasis in curriculum and instruction from the University of Houston – Clear Lake.
