Shawn Simmons
Principal
Ponder High School

I'm a two time graduate (Bachelor and Master Degrees) of the University of North Texas and am in my 15th year in education. My family is really excited to be here in Ponder as my wife, Christi, teaches 2nd grade at Ponder Elementary. My son Hayden is in 5th grade and my daughter Grace is in 1st grade.  They both love being a part of the lion community. In just a few years our daughter Kate will be joining us in the lions den.

As a graduate of Ponder High School it's very exciting to be back and part of a tradition of excellence. My goal is to help provide students a safe environment in which to receive a quality education.

Communication is a priority of all those who work in the Ponder school system. If there is anything I can ever do to contribute to the educational experience of your child please feel free to contact me.
