Jani's Story
Life
Graduated in 3 years from Azle and went to Howard Payne. Had fun traveling with HPU band for a year where Greg Berry was the director. Married Mickey in 1973 and finished 3 more years at HPU. Started teaching at Lampasas High School in Aug. 1976. Daughter, Caety, was born in 1979 and son, Reagan, followed in 1981. In addition to teaching, kids, and more college, we owned a lumber/hardware business from 1981-1987. 1988 Mickey and I both decided to get a Masters in Educational Administration w/ Mid-management cert. from Univ. of North TX. We really enjoyed the 3 summers we spent in Denton. After 15 years of teaching I changed jobs but stayed at LHS. I'm a campus administrator at LHS. Just about anything that deals with paper work, I do. Master Schedule, student schedules, parent orientation, student handbook, course descriptions, report cards, student eligibility, etc. etc. Some of my co-workers think I'm nuts because I still enjoy what I do. Every week someone says "I wouldn't want your job!." I'm lucky since I have good administrators who appreciate what I do. Still enjoy working with kids and faculty and feel like I've made a difference to a lot of them over the years. Both our kids are married. We have 2 grandkids that live here so they're great fun. Almost 32 years of marriage and looking forward to about 50 more. We have wonderful friends in Lampasas. ...Expand for more
My parents moved Copperas Cove in 1990 to be closer to us. My sister, Kay, also lives in Copperas Cove. Mickey and I are lucky to still have all of our parents. Mickey was the elementary principal and is now the Director of Special Ed for LISD. We live on the "home place", raise cattle so stay very busy. Don't laugh--I actually help brand, dehorn, vaccinate, pull calves, haul hay and whatever else Mickey needs help with.
Haven't seen or talked with anyone from Azle or HPU in years but would love to hear from you. Check the
2007 Update
We now have 3 grandchildren.
Mickey retired to do ranching full time but the drought got in the way so he is working as a consultant for the Region 12 Education Service Center.
My job title was changed to Assistant Principal for Scheduling.
My 8th principal in 10 years started in January. This doesn't count the AP and Central Office changes.
2010 Update
2010 has been a wild year. Decided to retire in February. Found a lump a few weeks later and had a biopsy. My father-in-law passed away April 1. Biopsy results on April 5 showed aggressive for of breast cancer. Finished my last radiation treatment 6-24-10. It went well. No problems and I'm officially in remission. Today--6-25-10 was my last day of work. I am now retired. I don't do much on classmates.com any more. I mostly use facebook so if you're wanting to contact me, try that.
