De'Sean Roby — Principal 

I've come full circle and returned to the building I started in when I began working with AISD. It is a joy and honor to be the principal of Bertha Sadler Means YWLA. My name is De'Sean Roby, and I am a product of AISD. I attended Winn Elementary, Read Elementary, Lamar Junior High School, and McCallum High School. I have spent most of my 26 years in education at the middle school level; fifteen of those years have been at Title I campuses. My specialty is in English Language Arts, and my passion is curriculum. I want all students to be excited about learning. I have been an instructional coach, an academic dean, and an assistant principal. My philosophy has always been, I'm not your teacher; I am your learning guide. My expectations are high, and my goal is to see Sadler Means students reach their potential.
