Hi! My name is Debbie Powers and it is truly an honor to serve as the counselor at Sam Houston Elementary! This is my 2nd year to be a counselor at Sam Houston Elementary and 14th year to be a counselor for CISD. I have served in CISD for 26 years as a Cheerleading Coach, Science Teacher, and Speech Teacher. I also taught in Aldine ISD for 3 years as a Biology Teacher and a Drill Team Instructor. All of these roles and responsibilities have shaped me into the educator and counselor I am today
I have three grown children that attended school in CISD. Kristen is an Assistant Principal for Frisco ISD, Candace is a Pharmacuetical Sales Rep for Allergen Pharmaceuticals in the Austin area and Jeremy is a Captain of is Fire Station and Paremedic in San Antonio. I have 7 adorable grandchildren. I live on a ranch with 40 cows, 1 horse, 3 ducks, and 3 cats. I am very blessed to have a job that I love. If you have any questions or concerns about your child or how we can make their year more successful please contact me at 903-874-6971.
