Meet the Principal

I am thrilled to join the Oak Crest community and bring my passion for fostering academic growth and positive school culture. I look forward to working with our wonderful team to support every student in achieving their highest potential.

— Ms. Lively

Amy Lively joins us from Mary Branch Elementary in Bryan ISD, where she has served as principal for the past five years. Mary Branch is a campus similar to Oak Crest, serving bilingual students. Under her leadership, the school experienced tremendous academic growth, highlighting her dedication and effectiveness. Her tenure there was marked by a strong commitment to fostering a positive school culture, enhancing academic performance, engaging parent participation, and cultivating a growth mindset among her 600+ students and 80 staff members.

Prior to her successful role at Mary Branch, Ms.  Lively gained extensive experience in educational leadership as an assistant principal, dean of instruction, and teacher within the Bryan Independent School District. She earned her Master’s in Education Administration and Principal Certification from Sam Houston State University in 2014.

She is excited to relocate to the San Antonio area and join our wonderful community and team. She is accompanied by her fiancé, Spencer, and their spirited blue heeler, Clyde. The couple is looking forward to their wedding this November.
