Please help us welcome Maddi Stennett to Heritage Middle School as a 6th Grade Science Teacher! Welcome #BroncoChampions!

Hi, my name is Maddi Grace Stennett. I am so excited to be a Bronco and to teach 6th grade science! I attended Mississippi College and earned a degree in elementary education. After teaching 6th grade in Mississippi for three years, I’m looking forward to starting my fourth year by returning to Texas and continuing to teach middle school. In my free time, I love to bake, read, and travel during the summer. It’s going to be a great year!

Please help us welcome Patrick O’Connor to Heritage Middle School as our new Attendance Clerk! Welcome #BroncoChampions!

Hey Broncos! My name is Patrick O’Connor.

I was born and raised in The Woodlands and Brenham, Texas. I fell in love with the DFW area during my time at Texas Christian University, where I graduated with a major in Communication Studies and a minor in Economics. Last summer, my wife and I got married and moved to Grapevine a few weeks later! Outside of school, I love live music and enjoy going to shows for local artists in DFW. I look forward to joining the team and getting to know everyone in the Bronco community!

Please help us welcome Lynn Brizzi to Heritage Middle School as our new School Counselor! Welcome #BroncoChampions!

Hello! I’m thrilled to be joining the Heritage Middle School team as a school counselor. I come to Heritage from Westlake Academy, and before that, I had the pleasure of serving students in GCISD at Colleyville Middle School. I’ve been in education for over 15 years, with the last six dedicated to school counseling—a role I find incredibly rewarding as I support students academically, socially, and emotionally.

My family and I moved to Texas from Virginia several years ago when my husband’s job
brought us to the area. Since then, we’ve truly made Texas our home. We have three children: our oldest son is a senior at the University of Texas, our middle child daughter will be starting at Auburn University this fall, and our youngest son is currently in high school in Northwest ISD. As both an educator and a parent, I understand the importance of building strong school-home partnerships, and I’m committed to working closely with families to ensure every student feels supported and successful.

I look forward to meeting you and your children and to being a part of their middle school
journey!

Please help us welcome Laura Foutch to Heritage Middle School as our new Assistant Principal! Welcome #BroncoChampions!

I am so excited to join the Bronco family as an assistant principal! I was born and raised in Oklahoma and attended Oklahoma State University (GO POKES!) for my bachelor’s and Lamar University for my M.Ed. This is my 16th in education and I spent the last five years at Grapevine High School; two as a special education inclusion and resource teacher and the last three as the Campus 504 and Testing Coordinator.

I have one daughter, Hadlee, who will be in 7th grade at Cross Timbers Middle School. I enjoy attending theater productions, watching sporting events, cooking, reading, and watching Hadlee perform through her love of theater.

I look forward to partnering with each of your families and being a part of your child’s Heritage Middle School journey!

Hope Week was a fun at HMS! A big thank you goes out to our Hope Squad and Ms. Daniels for planning fun events and dress up themes for this week. Our School was bursting with creativity, kindness, and a whole lot of smiles! From colorful chalk art on the sidewalks to dressing up as teachers and even some animal friends, we were spreading joy and positivity in every way. Let’s keep lifting each other up and spreading hope—because together, we make the world a little brighter. Enjoy these Hope Week photos. #TEAMHMS
