Tomball Memorial has experienced great success across all athletics, and we look forward to building on that success and continuing to add to the Wildcat tradition. I look forward to working with Dr. Zamora, Dr. Bailey, Coach Flanigan and the leaders of TMHS and TISD to make Tomball Memorial High School the very best it can possibly be!”
