My name is Mie Williams and I am happy to introduce myself as the Assistant Principal of Robert B. Sewell Elementary. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve and help lead a school community with such great teachers, students, and families. The children of Robert B. Sewell are truly exceptional, and I look forward to getting to know each one of them and being an advocate for his/her education.

My goal is to ensure that children are healthy, happy, and safe so they may learn at high levels. This has been my goal since I began my career as an educator. My educational journey began in Carrolton Farmers Branch ISD in 2015 when I started at Las Colinas Elementary as a fourth grade Math teacher. After teaching there for 5 years, I moved to Garland ISD. I am now entering my second year at Sewell and I look forward to collaborating with you and building strong, positive relationships.

I believe in the power of home and school connections where families and educators are true partners in a child’s success. It takes a village! Relationships built between home and school create a foundation for the lifelong learning journey that will continue well beyond elementary school.  Together, through our partnership, I am confident that our Sewell Seahawks will continue to grow into exceptional and caring individuals with unlimited potential.

Hello Sewell Seahawks!!

My name is Veronica Gutierrez and I have the most amazing job as the counselor of Sewell Elementary. Many of you may hear me be called Ms. G (as my last name is hard to say for some of the littles) or the Panda Lady (as that is my trademark here in my office). This will be my 28th year in Education, 10 years as a teacher and 18 years as a counselor. This is my 7th year here at Sewell. I have a daughter that is 22 years old but really could be my sister since I am not really old enough to have a child that age. She will be graduating from the University of North Texas in December of ’21.

My #1 goal here at Sewell is to ensure that the social and emotional needs of all the students are met. I absolutely LOVE working with children and to watch their personalities shine. I want the students to know that they can come to me for help or a smile and that I give free hugs.  :)

My name is Tanisha Jackson and I am the school nurse at Sewell Elementary. I grew up in Mesquite ISD and attended West Mesquite High School. I am a military veteran and served as a medic in the Air Force for 8 years. I started my nursing career in the hospital setting at Medical City Green Oaks Hospital as a psych ER nurse.  I also have experience in med-surg and pediatric home health.  I worked for Dallas ISD prior to coming to Garland ISD for the 20/21 school year. 

I truly enjoy interacting with the students while I promote healthy habits and wellness.
