I am thrilled to be the principal at Lily B Clayton. The school, students, staff and community exemplify the saying Sweet Lily B.

I received my Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education from the University of North Texas, my Masters Degree from the University of Texas at Arlington and my doctorate from Baylor University. Most of my time in the classroom was spent teaching middle school math. I have been in FWISD since 1999 and have served as an Assistant Principal, a Data Analyst and now working on my 17th year as principal. This is my 11th year as principal at Lily B Clayton.

I have 3 children. My oldest daughter, Courtney, works and lives in Fort Worth and my youngest daughter, Cassidy, is a student athlete at The University of the Ozarks in Arkansas. I am a big sports fan! I enjoy watching all things sports but especially my daughter’s soccer games, Baylor Bears football and the Dallas Cowboys.

Mr. Montoya is the Assistant Principal at Lily B. Clayton Elementary School.  Mr. Montoya is in his fifth year as a campus administrator but has worked in education with FWISD for 20 years in different capacities.
