Dennise Wooden Bio – Manor Middle (Killeen ISD)
My name is Dennise Wooden. I am a passionate educator committed to empowering students and fostering their academic growth. My journey in education began in 2007 as a mathematics teacher at Rancier Middle School and Liberty Hill Middle School in Killeen, Texas. From there, I transitioned to a Campus Instructional Specialist role at Eastern Hills Middle School, where I played a pivotal role in shaping curriculum and instructional strategies to enhance student learning outcomes. Later, I served as an Assistant Principal at the same campus.
In 2022, I embraced a new challenge as the Director of Curriculum and Instruction at Chaparral High School, implementing innovative educational initiatives to meet the diverse needs of students. In the summer of 2023, I joined Waco ISD as an Associate Principal at University High School before proudly stepping into the role as the Principal of G.W. Carver Middle School.
In addition to my career in education, I am a proud Army spouse and daughter, as well as a 10-year Air Force veteran. My military background instilled a strong sense of discipline, leadership, and service, which I bring to my work in education each day. My highest priority remains ensuring the success of my students and making a positive impact both in the classroom and beyond.
