A+UP is where Paul’s passion for blending personal development meets his drive to achieve academic growth for all kids. In his 26-year career, he has taught high school English, been the principal of four schools in Houston ISD, and worked at KIPP Houston as head of schools. Three of his HISD schools earned Recognized status from the state. The fourth was a school that had failed for 5 years.
