Hi everyone! My name is Sara Pannell and I cannot wait to welcome back all our Hood-Case Students this year!  I have spent the last 14 years at Hood-Case as one of the PE teachers and I am excited to jog down the hallway to join the 4th Grade team as a  Reading, Language Arts, and Social Studies teacher.   I was born and raised in Alvin.  I attended Alvin Primary, Alvin Elementary, Alvin Junior High and  graduated from Alvin High School in 1997. I went on to play soccer at Texas Lutheran University before transferring to Mary Hardin-Baylor where I continued my soccer career and graduated with a degree in Physical Education in 2001.   I began teaching at Hood-Case in 2007 and I am honored to be a part of such a wonderful school.  I married my husband in 2008 and together we enjoy road trips (especially to National Parks), anything soccer related and running around with our dog and our 3 beautiful children.
