Mr. Edward Rivera

My name is Edward Rivera. However, my students usually call me Mr. (Ms. or Mrs. at times) Rivera or Mr. Principal.  For seven years, I have been the educational leader at Jose B. Munoz Elementary.  I graduated from the University of Texas-Pan American with a Bachelor’s in Math and Biology.  I received my Master’s in Educational Leadership from the University of Texas- Rio Grande Valley and am pursuing my Doctoral degree at Texas A&M University- Kingsville.

My life has been fulfilled by the art of teaching and the field of education.  The joy of watching someone’s eyes light up in appreciation of what you do has become my passion.  I am striving to become a more well-rounded version of the educator I have already been shaped into being.  Through the support of my family, staff, and the community, I have learned that leadership is about making others better due to your presence and ensuring that impact lasts in your absence.

I look forward to serving this community and all the students who pass through our doors.
