Montague County school leaders looking forward to creating new legacy

Published

on

Building a legacy is the motto chosen by Superintendent Carla Hennessey and Principal Angela Kleinhans, the new administrators for Montague Independent School District.

The new motto is fitting for the two, who have been a part of the school’s past legacy but look forward to leading Montague into the future.

“Montague has a great legacy, but you can’t just maintain a legacy, you have to keep at it,” said Hennessey. “We are going to build from where we are at.”

Hennessey takes the helm as superintendent after spending eight years as Montague’s principal under former Superintendent Curtis Eldridge, who resigned to accept the superintendent position with Saint Jo ISD.

The 40-year-old is a graduate of Saint Jo High School who received her bachelor’s degree in English in 1999 from Texas Woman’s University. The new superintendent also received her master’s in educational administration from TWU in 2006.

She began her career at Forestburg ISD in 1999 teaching all subjects for second and fifth grades while coaching volleyball. She taught and coached for 12 years before switching to technology coordinator and eventually assistant principal.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
