Ms. Amanda Kelly, 6th grade Assistant Principal
My name is Amanda Kelly and I am the 6th grade assistant principal at Dueitt Middle School. I began my time at DMS in 2012 as an 8th grade ELA teacher. I moved to the Science department in 2013 where I taught 6th-8th grades and served as department chair until I was promoted to assistant principal in 2016. This will be my 9th year at DMS. Before Dueitt, I was a second grade teacher in Klein ISD and a paraprofessional in Tomball ISD.
I graduated from the University of Houston-Downtown with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2011 and from Texas A&M with a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction in 2013. I completed my principal certification at Lamar University and I am currently writing my dissertation to earn my Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction from Texas A&M.
I have a great beagle puppy named Penny and I spend most of my free time running. I am training to run a 100 mile ultramarathon in December 2021.

Mr. Jermaine Zanders
Principal for the 2021-2022 school year. This is my fifteenth year as a public school educator,
and my second year as an administrator in Spring ISD. I am a native of New Orleans, LA where
I began my teaching career as a high school English teacher, the year after Hurricane Katrina
devastated the city and areas of the Gulf Coast region. In my thirteen years as a classroom
teacher, I taught ELA grades 5 – 12 in both traditional and charter schools in LA, and here in
Texas.
My genuine philosophy of education is that neither zip code, area code, address, nor any
arbitrary category determines whether or not a child can learn, because every child can learn and
excel in his/her own ways. Because of my own upbringing I am a strong advocate of promoting
literacy, especially among underserved populations.
I earned a bachelor’s degree in English from Dillard University, Master of Divinity from Emory
University, Master in the Art of Teaching from Xavier University of LA, and an Education
Specialist degree in leadership from Liberty University. I recently contributed several written
pieces to the book, “Hey Man! We’re Just Talking” a series of open letters to young men of
color to help them navigate different areas of life. I am also currently writing my own memoir
detailing my journey with kidney disease and dialysis over the last two decades.
In my spare time I enjoy singing with my church choir, spending time with my spouse, reading,
writing, and cooking authentic New Orleans and southern cuisine.
I am excited to join the team and guide our 7 th grade Eagles as they soar to new heights!
