Teacher Rep
Michele Gustin
I was born and raised a New Mexican, but I became a Texan as fast as I could.
I'm the middle child of Vince and Millie Necaise. My older brother, Michael, and my younger brother, Mark, live in Mansfield, TX and Phoenix, AZ. My mom and dad still live in Hobbs, NM in the house where I grew up. I went to Parochial elementary school, and graduated from Hobbs High School in 1984 where I was a cheerleader, cross country runner, and softball player. I went to Eastern AZ Jr. College on a full softball scholarship for 2 years, then attended New Mexico State University where I graduated in 1988 with a Bachelors in Education. I moved to Texas immediately following college graduation and taught 3rd grade at All Saints Catholic School in Fort Worth for one year, 1st and then 4th grades for ten years at Turner Elementary in Fort Worth, 4th grade for 5 years at Norwood Elementary and this is my 4th year at the best elementary school ever – The Academy at Nola Dunn. Along the way I acquired a wonderful husband, David, and two beautiful children-Blake, 11 years old, and Breanna, 8 years old. Blake enjoys motor-cross and cross country racing and will attend Kerr Middle School this year. Bree spends her time playing soccer and riding four wheelers. She will be a third grader here at the Academy this year. David and I just try very hard to keep up with them and love every minute of it. When I'm not busy teaching your kids or chasing my own, I like to run races from 5K's to marathons to triathalons. I also love to sew, play softball, and read. My biggest hope for this school year is that I can show these kids how smart and important each and every one of them are in their own unique way.

Hospitality
Stacy Miller
Hello, my name is Stacy Miller. I was born in Paris and raised in Pittsburg- Texas, that is. I met my husband, Davy, in Houston, as we were opening the same restaurant, in 1996. We married in 1999 and moved to Norman, Okahoma for 2 years. We were there to open 3 restaurants. Thankfully, we moved back to Texas as quickly as we could! We moved to Burleson February 15th, 2007. That same day we opened our restaurant, the 29 Degree Grill of Ft Worth. I have been in the restaurant business for 18 years, so you guessed it!! I am 22 years old. With this move, I was lucky enough to get to stay at home and raise our 2 boys. Braeden is in Ms. Lowry's Azul Kindergarten and Jacob turned 2 in August of 2007. Braeden is a swimmer so we spend lots of time in the water, either indoor or out. Jacob also has the swimming bug. So if we aren't there then we are taking bike rides at the park, shopping or playing with our Boxers. We consider trips to Starbucks one of our hobbies.
So, I may just see you there! We will be the ones sitting on the patio watching a movie sipping on coffee and apple juices.
