Meet Mrs. Chandler

Welcome FSHE Families!

My name is Amy Chandler, and I am thrilled to be part of the Fort Sam Houston Elementary community!

This is my 24th year in education, and I’ve had the privilege of serving as a classroom teacher, campus GT teacher, administrative intern, and district GT coordinator. This year, I am excited to serve as both the Campus GT Coordinator and GT Teacher, as well as the Emergent Bilingual (EB) Lead Teacher. I have worked in gifted education for over 15 years and truly enjoy challenging students to think deeply, grow academically, and reach their full potential.

I am a proud graduate of Texas State University, where I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Education—Go Bobcats! 🐾  I also studied at Schreiner University, where I earned my principal certification.  I previously taught in Hays CISD (Kyle, TX) and North East ISD, right down the road.

My certifications include:

• Elementary Self-Contained (1st-8th)
• Elementary Music (1st-8th)
• Gifted & Talented Supplemental
• English as a Second Language (ESL) Supplemental
• Principal as an Instructional Leader (K-12)

When I’m not at school, you can usually find me enjoying time with my family. I have two boys - one is a high school sophomore, and the other just graduated and started college.  My husband of 20 years is a SA firefighter.  Our family life is always busy, but I wouldn’t have it any other way!

I love to travel, especially to the coast, which is one of our family’s favorite destinations. In my free time, I enjoy reading, taking walks, cooking, and shopping.

A few of my favorites:

• Coffee and Diet Coke
• Mexican food
• Reading a good book
• Shopping at Target, Amazon, and H-E-B
• Quick restaurant stops: Chipotle, Chick-fil-A, Cabo Bob’s, and Order Up!

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I’m looking forward to a fantastic year and can’t wait to partner with you to support our students!  Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
