From the Desk of Phillip Neeb

Principal of Honey Elementary

     I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with the staff of Honey Elementary School again this year.  Our theme for the upcoming year will be “A Bit of Honey Goes a Long Way”.  I feel that our theme is very appropriate considering the strong academic tradition that Honey has developed over the years.  Our staff, students and parents all worked extremely hard last year and as a result, we received the highest academic recognition from the state of Texas (Exemplary Based on TAKS performance).  I fully expect that we will continue to enjoy the highest levels of success as we strive to help each “Honey Bear” reach their individual potential.

     I have worked in the Lubbock ISD for 15 of the last 17 years.  I spent 8 years in the classroom teaching 3^rd and 6^th grade at Posey Elementary, Waco and Preston Smith Elementary.  This will be my 10^th year in administration.  Previously, I was an Assistant Principal for 3 years at Posey, Parkway, Bozeman and Preston Smith Elementary.  I was the Principal at Hardwick Elementary for 5 years, before coming to Honey Elementary.

     I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Texas Tech University.  It goes without saying that I am a huge fan of the Red Raiders!

      On a personal note, my wife Christy, and I grew up in the same small town (Fort Stockton , Texas).  We have been married for 14 years now and we have 2 children.  Our son Thomas will be in the 2nd grade this year and our daughter Meredith will begin kindergarten here in LISD.  They are great sources of pride for both of us.

      Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family, working in the yard, reading, watching baseball games (mainly my son’s) and playing golf.  Each July, I thoroughly enjoy the opportunity to be a “stay at home” father with my kids and we are on the go all of the time.

      Honey Elementary has a tremendous staff who works hard to make your child’s experience in elementary school a “special” time.  When we pair that with outstanding students and parents, we have a limitless potential for great things to happen.  We are extremely grateful to have the opportunity to work with such supportive, fantastic families!
