We hope everyone is having a great summer so far!
Look at this dedicated group of 3rd-5th ELAR teachers getting together on their own time to vertically plan for 2021-2022. This is just another reason our staff sets us apart as the best! Thank you Mrs. Jenkins for being a gracious hostess. Owens is lucky to have this amazing team of teachers!

Hi Tyler ISD! My name is Anna Murray and I am so excited to be teaching first grade at Owens Elementary this year!
I am from Jacksonville, Texas, but live in Tyler with my best friend!
My hobbies include playing with my sweet Schnoodle, Junie, shopping, going to church and spending time with friends and family.
I want to be at Owens because I feel that it is the next opportunity God has given me to impact the lives of children and staff. I felt at peace as soon as I stepped into the school!
