Barbara Ozuna holds a bachelor's degree in history from Texas Christian University and a master's degree in history from the University of North Texas. She taught 8th grade US History and 6th grade world cultures at William James Middle School before moving to Paschal High School where she taught AP World History, AP European History, AP Human Geography, and Pre-AP World Geography. She began the AP World History program for the Fort Worth school district in 2001, served as a College Board consultant in World History, and was active in the AP World History reading. In 2008, Barbara became the academic coordinator at Paschal under the tutelage of Mr. John Hamilton. In 2013, she became an assistant principal and the dean of instruction, overseeing curricular implementation in English, social studies, and world languages. She also works with counselors on course sequencing and scheduling and with advanced academics on the vertical articulation between AP and pre-AP courses. Occasionally, Barbara still gets to feel like she is a mom to two kids who are working and going to college. She and her husband, Rene, look forward to the times everyone is together.
It is a great joy to be the principal of McLean Middle School. Since Mrs. Ozuna matriculated through McLean in the early ’80s, it feels like being home. The mission of McLean’s faculty, staff, and administration is to maximize the learning of all students and to help mold our 7th and 8th graders into happy, healthy, responsible students and community members.
I am thrilled to serve as an assistant principal at McLean Middle School. Prior to this, I taught middle school math for 10 years and then served as an instructional coach for three years. I received my Bachelor’s in Visual Communication and my Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction both from the University of Texas at Arlington.
I love spending quality time with my husband, Chris, and our three children during my free time. I enjoy being in nature, buying too many plants, reading, crocheting, and loving our pets.
Manuel Alvarado, Assistant Principal
It is with great enthusiasm to introduce myself as one of the Assistant Principals at Mclean Middle School. I am very pleased to be part of the Mclean Middle School family and ready to get to know the community.
I am a West Texas native who moved up here to the DFW area pursuing an education at UT Arlington. I Graduate from UT Arlington with Bachelors in Mathematics and Minor Physics and have been serving FWISD going on 18 years. During that time, I earned my Masters in Educational Administration from Tarleton State University. I look forward to meeting and being part of the family that Mclean has built.
