Two brothers who each serve at principals at HISD schools are featured in the July 25 edition of Community eNews.

Dameion and Clayton Crook didn’t dream of becoming principals when they were children, but education is in their blood. Their mother, father and aunt were all teachers. The brothers were once up for the same job!
