Stephens, Misti » Welcome to RISE Academy!

Welcome to RISE Academy!

Hi everyone,
 
My name is Misti Stephens and I'm excited to lead the RISE Academy again this year! This is my 24th year in education and my 6th year as a Weatherford Kangaroo. Go Roos!
 
My husband, Ryan, and I have been married for 23 years and we have two daughters, Gracie (17) and Kennedy (12). Our family also includes three dogs; Lexi, Lyla and Ozzy. We relocated to Weatherford in 2018 from Georgetown, TX. We love spending time outside and watching our daughters' sporting events.
 
I attended Stephen F. Austin State University where I received a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Teaching Certificate in 2000. I continued my education at Lamar University where I earned a Masters in Educational Leadership and my Principal Certificate.
 
If you ever have questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to help.
 
Sincerely,
 
Misti Stephens

About RISE Academy
The RISE Academy supports students who have circumstances requiring a non-traditional school setting. It has a flexible four hour school day, giving an opportunity for students to earn a diploma regardless of circumstances. The program is meant to eliminate as many distractions as possible. Students are still required to complete the state and locally approved number of high school credits, pass required STAAR EOC exams and earn post-graduation readiness requirements. This might be a program for you if:
  • You are wanting to graduate early
  • You need to recover credits
  • You have difficulty making progress in a traditional setting
  • You need to balance your family and education and/or work
  • You are self-motivated/prefer computer-based learning
