My name is Natalie Samuels, and I am the Assistant Band Director and Color Guard Director at Fort Stockton High School. This is my first year as a director, and I am very excited to begin my career at Fort Stockton ISD!

I grew up in Monahans, Texas where I graduated from Monahans High School. I attended West Texas A&M University and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Education in 2022. After I graduated, I spent time as a private lesson teacher and colorguard instructor to schools in Canyon ISD and Amarillo ISD. I am very grateful to have the opportunity to take what I've learned from the Panhandle and help grow the FSISD music program, which is much closer to home!

On my free time, I enjoy reading, journaling, and spending time with my adorable niece and nephews, Alianna, Enzo, and Elliott. I am looking forward to a great school year!
