Pat Gilbert

“Pat has been a tireless champion for the principalship as well as for Texas stu­dents and educators,” said TEPSA Executive Director Sandi Borden. “Not only has she modeled leadership in her TEPSA district, she’s served as a mentor for school leaders throughout the state.”

Gilbert has served TEPSA in many capacities. She served on the National Distin­guished Principal Selection Committee in 1999 and 2013. She was a TEPSA Dis­trict 8 officer from 1999-2003 including two years as the District 8 President. Pat also served on TEPSA’s Standing Committees. A member of the Membership, Marketing and PR Committee from 2001-2005, she served as Chair from 2001-2004. She also chaired the Special Committee on Elections in 2003-2004, and most recently she served on the Nominating Committee from 2010-2012.

TEPSA, whose hallmark is educational leaders learning with and from each other, has served Texas PreK-8 school leaders since 1917. Member owned and member governed, TEPSA has more than 5,800 members who direct the activities of more than 2.5 million PreK-8 school children.
