From the Executive Editors
Our story is HERstory, and HERstory is your story, told and untold From the past to the present and well into the future Read about it, experience it, imagine it, and watch history unfold HERstory rises up from a little girl’s dream, Into a pathway, into a stream, Constantly flowing… Climb aboard, HERstory awaits, Women School Executives, somewhere in history, you too have a place! Sharon Ross, Ed.D. Dear Authors and Conference Attendees, 2023 is here! There have been many leaders among us Making History & Writing HERstory throughout 2022! Congratulations to each of you for accomplishing those milestones and successes. It is true that women have been an instrumental part of the world’s history since the beginning of time. We echo author Jennifer Palmieri (2018) in saying, “Don’t search for your role in his story; write your own” (p. 120), and that is what you will find in reading this issue. The research, perspectives, and creative works are welcoming and inspirational. There are a couple of new perspectives that should serve to promote equity and inclusion of thought. The sound of voice throughout this issue promotes an awareness of our growth and strength. You will find help for your journey if you read with intention. Bound together, this journal reveals the history of the participating authors and the researched participants who willingly shared their life stories throughout the research projects. May the works within be a motivating factor for you personally and a unit of professional development throughout your organizations. May you find encouragement, tips, and strategies designed to assist in charting our individual but collective futures while building better learning experiences. Texas Council of Women School Executives provides the Journal of Texas Women School Executives to inspire authors passionate about seeking to understand current issues in education for the purpose of sharing recommendations and ideas toward personal and school improvement. The history of HERstory is painted on a colorful canvas somewhere within each submission. Turn the page. Find the story. Live HERstory, and create your own. Telling HERstory,
