I have been principal at Alice D. Contreras Elementary since 2006. I also served as assistant principal at Alice D. Contreras Elementary for two years. I have been in education within the Fort Worth Independent School district since 1985. I was born and raised in Fort Worth, Texas. I attended the Fort Worth ISD schools and I am a proud graduate of Trimble Tech High School. I attended Texas Wesleyan and earned my Bachelor’s of Education.  I later graduated from the University of North Texas with my Master’s in Education Administration. I am married to Gus Vargas and have three beautiful girls, Julianna, Natalie and Elisa. 

Alice D. Contreras Elementary is a great place to work.  We have the best staff, students, and parents. I appreciate all the support and volunteer help that we have from our parents and community. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call or send me an email. Thank you for allowing me to work with your children.

I received my teaching degree from Texas Woman’s University and my master’s degree from Walden University.  I have been working in the Fort Worth Independent School District since 1996.  I enjoy being the assistant principal because I get to know all the students, teachers, and parents personally in our school.  I love our school and mostly our students!  I believe if we work together as a community of learners, our students will go farther in life and continue their education in college.

I am married with 3 kids of my own.  I have 2 girls and 1 boy.   My oldest is married with a little girl (my first grandbaby!)  My youngest is still in school.  As a family we enjoy reading, being outdoors and playing Band Hero on our Wii.
