 From the Principal
 Dear Parents:
I would like to take this opportunity to welcome students and parents to our Alexander family. Through our tradition of achievements in athletics and academics, along with the strength of family support, we hope to ensure the success of each student.
When I joined the faculty I quickly realized the pride associated with Alexander High School. With an enrollment of more than 2300 students and new classrooms, we continue to face the challenges which help to make us the best high school in South Texas.
Education is our number one goal. Our teachers are among the best trained in the state, and every member of our staff is available to accomplish this goal. We know the importance of success in TAKS, SAT, AP exams, and THEA and other standardized exams. We also know that education is a lot more than exams. Our faculty members work to create a well-rounded, knowledgeable student who is capable of continuing his education throughout life. Students are encouraged to get involved in their education, thereby making school a place where they feel welcome and safe.
We also know that education does not stop when you leave the classroom. Athletics, band, and extracurricular clubs provide a balance to the academics. Coaches and sponsors give of their time and expertise in order to bring out the best in each participant. With your support, both at home and in the stands, we can create winners both in competition and in life, which is another goal.
Because of our students, parents, faculty, staff and administrators we have a history of success. I hope to continue that tradition during my tenure as principal and look forward to working with you, your child, and your child’s teachers in order to make 2008-2009 the best school year ever. With your involvement and our enthusiastic staff, J. B. Alexander High School will continue to be the number one school in the district, the city, and the state. Dolores W Barrera
