It is with great pride and excitement to introduce myself as the newly appointed principal of Sewell Elementary School for the 2022-2023 school year. As your new principal, I wholeheartedly accept the responsibility of ensuring the success of all of our students and helping to create a trusting and supportive school environment for everyone.

I have been in education for 25 years. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Multidisciplinary Studies, English and Reading Specialization, from the University of Houston-Clear Lake and my master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Lamar University. My career started in my hometown, Friendswood, TX where I taught 3rd grade. My husband was transferred to the DFW area in 1998 and we have been in the area since then. I taught 4th grade at Spring Creek Elementary in Garland our first year here. The last 22 years have been spent in Plano ISD where I have taught 2nd and 3rd grade, was an instructional coach and an assistant principal.

I have been married to my husband, Robert, for 31 years. We have 4 children, Caedyn (29), Clayton (25), Connor (22) and Macey (19). Caedyn attends Gonzaga University, Clayton and Macey attend Texas Tech and Connor is working on becoming a chef. They still keep us very busy. I also have 2 Labrador Retrievers, Winter and Autumn. I love spending time with friends and traveling.

I am committed to implementing a shared vision where every student can and will be successful, and I strongly believe that my background as an instructional leader will enable me to help meet the needs of students, teachers, and the entire Sewell community. I am confident that I will continue to learn from you as well, and that together we will reach new heights.

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.

Veronica Gutierrez

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 29th year in Education, 10 years as a teacher and 19 years as a counselor. This is my 8th year here at Sewell.

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. :)
