Ismael Avila- Kinder Dual Language Teacher 

     Hello! My name is Ismael Avila and  I have been a teacher in the FWISD since 2003. I graduated from Austin College with a Major in Physics. Ever since I obtained my Teacher Certification, I have been teaching Bilingual education to elementary students. I am a proud parent of one daughter and husband to an amazing wife. My hobbies include spending time with my family, outdoor activities, music, and world cuisine.
     It is a great honor and privilege to be at South Hills with many other excellent teachers. My sole priority in the classroom and school are the children that I am teaching. One of my goals is to discover the great student within your child and give them lasting memories of the fun they had while learning in my classroom. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to visit my room. My door is always open.

Laurie Williams- 5th Grade

     Hello! I'm Laurie Williams and I'm thrilled to be a part of the South Hills Family this year! Although this is my first year at South Hills Elementary, I have taught 5th grade in Fort Worth ISD for several years. As a parent I realize the importance of great teachers who inspire children to be their best. As a teacher I look for the best in each of my students and hope to inspire them to achieve their fullest potential. I am looking forward to an amazing year with our students...Go Wildcats!

Natalie Divis- 5^th Grade

     I cannot believe the summer is over and we are upon our first day of school already! My name is Natalie Divis and I am very excited to be teaching here at South Hills Elementary.  Although last school year I started late teaching in the Fifth Grade, I was warmly welcomed by you, the South Hills students, teachers, staff and parents.  Everyone was wonderful, making me right at home at South Hills and we finished the year out strong! I look forward to another great year with a new class of students!  I graduated from Texas A&M University and have worked in HEB ISD and Mansfield ISD, but Fort Worth ISD and South Hills have gone above and beyond in their friendliness and support!  I thought that Aggieland was the friendliest campus around, but South Hills, you have outdone yourself!  Let's make this year the best one yet!
