Meet Your Administrators!
Campus Principal: Mrs. Herring
Hi Rams!!! I am SO EXCITED to be your Principal! I am starting my 6th year at MCHS where I have previously served as both an Assistant Principal and the Associate Principal. Prior to that, I spent 9 years as an administrator in Fort Bend ISD after beginning my career as a Special Education teacher. I am a PROUD Aggie that earned both a Bachelor and Masters in Education at Texas A&M University. Outside of MCHS, I am a proud wife and mom to a college junior and high school senior. I LOVE any opportunity for family time! I am truly looking forward to this school year as we continue to brand Ram PRIDE and let the world know why this is such an outstanding school!
Associate Principal: Mr. Smith
It is my honor to serve as the Associate Principal of Mayde Creek High School. Raised in Missouri City, Texas, and a proud alum of Fort Bend ISD (Dulles High), I received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Northern Iowa University then returned home to earn a master's degree in education administration from Houston Baptist University. I was a teacher for 10 years before becoming an Administrator where I've served as both an Assistant Principal and Associate Principal in the Houston area. My service to Mayde Creek High School is dedicated to promoting excellence and creating a safe and supportive environment for students, staff, and families.
12th Grade Assistant Principal: Mr. Porter
Hey Rams, I will be your 12th grade Assistant Principal this year! This is my 5th year at Mayde Creek, prior to this I was a Special Education teacher both in Fort Bend ISD and then here at Mayde Creek. I can't tell you how excited I am to work with all of you and also to help make Senior year unforgettable! I look forward to seeing you all very soon!
11th Grade Assistant Principal: Mr. Onhaizer
I’m a graduate of Texas A&M University and am slightly obsessed with Aggie football and baseball. I have a son who is a junior in CFISD and plays a lot of baseball as well as a daughter in 6th grade who is an amazing artist and volleyball player. If I ever have any free time, I enjoy playing golf with friends.
10th Grade Assistant Principal: Mr. Rivera

Hello Rams. I am Mary Margaret Crandall. I am the Class of 2028 Assistant Principal for last names A through L. This is my 27th year at MCHS. I will see many of you out at the buses every day. I love music; you might hear me in hallway with my rolling speaker. I am looking forward to a terrific school year. RPND.
9th Grade Assistant Principal (M-Z): Mr. Berg
Hello, Mr. Berg here! Like iceberg, only cooler. I’m the 9th grade AP for last names M through Z, and am most looking forward to all the great spirit days.
