robert.hensarling@hayscisd.netHello, Hawks! It is my pleasure to serve as your Academic Dean, focusing on the areas of instruction, interventions, and advanced academics. I work with our terrific counseling staff to ensure every student receives tailored, high-quality instruction that prepares them for success beyond Hays High
School. We get to come to work and serve the most amazing young adults, and your trust and support in us
is felt on a daily basis. Thank you.
This is my 21st year in education, 16th year as a campus administrator, and 11th year here at the greatest high school in the world! Originally from Houston (go Stros!), I moved to central Texas after graduating from the University of Houston to pursue my graduate degree from Concordia University (it used to be in Austin- that’s how old I am). This area has been home for the last 20+ years; my wife and I live in Kyle and are kept busy by our 4 awesome kids, all of whom attend
Hays CISD schools. If there is ever anything I can do to assist you, please let me know.

Hello, my name is Earrick Stigall, and I am serving in my forth year as an Assistant Principal at HHS. Before I
accepted my current position at HHS, I served two years at Nacogdoches High School as an Assistant
Principal. Before my step into Educational Administration. I was employed for three years at Nacogdoches
ISD as a Teacher and Coach. Prior to NHS, I was employed at GETCAP Head Start as the Developmental
Specialist for 12 years. While at GETCAP Head Start, I ensured that children with disabilities receive a free
and appropriate education, served as administrator for all ARD and IEP committees, and developed and
maintained mental health contracts with outside entities. Implemented a mental health curriculum, a
program-wide behavior modification plan, and supervised Developmental staff at five locations. I also
conducted yearly observations on 32 classrooms, developed program-wide training schedules, along with many other administrative duties.
I possess a Master of Special Education and Bachelor of Art in Rehabilitation Science Counseling. I also hold teacher certifications in Special Education (Grades EC-12), Generalist (Grades EC-6), Generalist (Grades 4-8), Social Studies (Grades 7-12), and a certification in Educational Leadership (Grades EC-12). As an educator I strive to ensure a family friendly environment where everyone feels welcome, promote lifelong learning, and we as professionals must remember that we are obligated to meet every student’s educational needs. Educators must let their students know that they care and that they are there to support all students. No matter what the climate of the school or the culture of the community, the educator must build a positive relationship between the two. While in the workplace, the educator must set norms that will require everyone to respect each other. When professional standards are established, students and staff will begin to perform more productively, and a positive campus identity emerges.
Educators are challenged daily because of the many different dynamics that an educational environment present; we must ensure that each educational opportunity is executed with the highest of quality. I feel that my education and variety of professional experiences over the last 20 years has prepared me to be a lifelong educator. On a personal note, I have been married to my wife Deatrick for 16 years and have two children, Endia (13) and Eyan (11).
