Madeley Ranch Elementary Assistant Principal Megan Parker has been named the 2025 Region 6 AP of the Year by the Texas Elementary Principals and Supervisors Association (TEPSA). The peer-based award celebrates assistant principals from the 20 TEPSA Regions across the state who demonstrate exceptional leadership in fostering a culture of excellence for students and teachers on their campuses.
“Megan has played a pivotal role in creating a supportive and dynamic learning environment at Madeley Ranch. We are proud to recognize her leadership and dedication to ensuring students are engaged, and achieve success throughout their education,” said TEPSA Executive Director Harley Eckhart.
This award recognizes leaders who are committed to excellence through programs designed to meet the needs of all students, have firmly established community ties, show strong educational leadership by setting high expectations for school staff and students, and exhibit exceptional leadership in a particular school program.
The 20 regional honorees will be recognized at the TEPSA Legacy Luncheon in June. One TEPSA Region AP of the Year will be selected as the 2025 NAESP National Assistant Principal of the Year for Texas.
This is Parker’s first year at Madeley Ranch and in MISD, and her twentieth year in education. Prior to joining the Madeley Ranch staff, she served in a variety of leadership roles in Tomball ISD, including Assistant Principal, Director of the Early Excellence Academy, and Program Specialist for Assessment & Instruction. She started her career as a special education teacher and also served as an educational diagnostician. A resident of MISD, she was happy for the opportunity to join the Madeley Ranch staff and work closer to home.
“I am extremely excited and incredibly humbled by this recognition,” Parker said. “To be working in my own community and representing Region 6 is such an outstanding honor. It is a privilege to serve alongside the exceptional educators at Madeley Ranch Elementary where our staff and community celebrate growth through innovative practices and collaboration.”
Madeley Ranch Principal Jewel Tucker also commented on the honor.
“We are thrilled for Megan to receive this recognition,” Tucker said. “She hit the ground running this fall, improving our safety practices and protocols, and an overhaul of multi-tiered systems to support our Mustangs. She has worked to strengthen individualized student learning, including positive behavior intervention plans and collaborating with counselors and teachers to meet our kids where they are, and giving them the tools they need to succeed.”
Montgomery ISD Assistant Superintendent of Elementary Education Carrie Fitzpatrick shared her support for Parker.
“Megan has been an incredible addition to our staff at Madeley Ranch,” Fitzpatrick said. “Together with Mrs. Tucker, they have created a remarkable culture at the school. Every staff member is invested in fostering student growth in and out of the classroom, building on a foundation of positive behavioral intervention strategies. We are grateful that Megan is part of Team Montgomery and congratulate her on this well-deserved honor.”
