Welcome, WUES principal

Scott Disch, West U Elementary's new principal, is looking forward to reconnecting to the community he grew up in along with his wife Rhianna and their daughters Blaire, 5 months, and Scarlett, 3.

After 23 years, West University Elementary is welcoming a new principal, Scott Disch. Scott was born in Houston, and his dad lives in the West U house that Scott’s grandmother bought in the 1930s. Scott earned his master’s degree in teaching at Rice University. He spent several years at Grady Middle School (now Tanglewood Middle School) in a variety of roles, coaching football, basketball and baseball, teaching PE, special ed, English and Texas history. At Westside High School, he served for five years as a dean of students followed by dean of instruction at Westside. He said he’s looking forward to reconnecting to the community he grew up in. “I grew up playing West U Little League,” Scott says, “and I’ve got a lot of friends in the community. It’s a special community, and I’m excited to be an integral part of that.” Pictured is Scott with his wife Rhianna and their daughters Blaire, 5 months, and Scarlett, 3.
