Welcome to Wolf Nation Texas Logo

FROM OUR PRINCIPAL NIKI CATES
I am delighted to introduce myself as Principal of San Augustine Elementary School. My educational career spans over twenty years including:  twelve years as primary, elementary and middle school classroom teacher, four years as educational leader.. and five years as an educational consultant. I have been very fortunate to work in a variety of positions and diverse environments including: two large school districts, a private school, and two small school districts. 

I am married to my wonderful husband Chris Cates. Together we have two daughters, Hollyn and Whitney Cates, two sons, Carter and Lane Lair, and one grandson, Braxton Pratt. We enjoy spending time at the lake, camping, fishing, and making memories. I am extremely blessed to have a large family and close group of friends who have supported me on my journey from classroom teacher to campus principal. My loved ones and educational experiences have truly shaped me as a servant leader.

As the newest member of Wolf Nation, I am most excited to serve the students, staff, and community of San Augustine. I believe schools take on the personality of their leader, and I am dedicated to educating students, energizing teachers, and building positive relationships with all stakeholders. I consider it an honor to serve as Principal of San Augustine Elementary School.

I am looking forward to  the BEST year ever, as we work hard to Build Educational Success Together. 
Niki Cates
