Summer Hinojos brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to her new role, joining the Frenship Family after seven years in education at Lubbock-Cooper ISD.
“While at Lubbock-Cooper, I served as a special education inclusion teacher, co-taught fourth grade math, and most recently, led a self-contained third grade classroom,” said Hinojos.
Her journey with Frenship began long before her official role, through family ties and early teaching experiences that left a lasting impression.
“I’ve always felt a strong connection to Frenship ISD as my cousins were proud Frenship students, and I had the privilege of student teaching here,” said Hinojos. “The district’s welcoming, family-centered atmosphere has continually drawn me back and made a lasting impression.”
As she steps into administration, Hinojos is motivated by the opportunity to make a lasting impact while building a positive and inclusive school culture.
“As I step into this exciting new chapter as an administrator, I’m energized by all the opportunities it presents,” said Hinojos. “The challenges to overcome, the growth ahead, and most importantly the chance to make a meaningful, lasting impact. Above all, what excites me the most is the privilege of cultivating strong, supportive relationships with both staff and students. I believe that genuine connection is the foundation of a thriving school culture. I couldn’t be more excited to create an environment where every individual feels seen, heard, and valued.”
Hinojos earned both her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Lubbock Christian University and credits the institution with helping shape her leadership journey. At home, she and her husband, Jacob, are raising two children, Olivia, who is entering first grade, and Saige, who is two years old.
“As a family, we’re thrilled to be part of the Frenship community and look forward to raising our children within the nurturing and values-driven environment that Frenship ISD embodies!”
Outside of school, the Hinojos family enjoys spending time outdoors and making memories together in their favorite getaway spot, Cloudcroft, New Mexico.
“Whether it’s hiking through pine-covered trails or casting a line in one of the serene lakes, we love creating memories as a family,” said Hinojos.
