Family Engagement
Family Specialist
Homero Peña Jr.
My name is Homero Peña Jr., and I have had the privilege of serving North East ISD for the past nine years. For the last six years, I have worked as a Family Specialist, a role that allows me to support students and their families in meaningful and impactful ways.
My passion lies in helping individuals realize and reach their full potential. I believe that every person has unique strengths and the capacity for growth when given the right support and encouragement. This belief is deeply rooted in my upbringing. I was raised in a small town where community values and helping one another were a way of life—principles that continue to guide my work today.
I am committed to building strong, trusting relationships with families and working collaboratively to create environments where students can thrive both academically and personally.
