Mrs. Leavitt acquired the beginning credits towards her degree at Tarrant County College and then transferred to Texas Christian University (TCU) to complete her Bachelor of Science in Middle School Mathematics Education. J.P. Elder MS, Wedgwood 6th, and McLean MS were all places she called home while teaching students about 6th through 8th grade mathematics for ten years. Her different leadership experiences at each school led her to obtain her master's in educational leadership from TCU. Mrs. Leavitt then returned to McLean MS as an Assistant Principal where she lead and served in the Paschal pyramid for four years.
