• Dear Maverick Family,

     I am excited to lead Madison Crossing again this coming school year and continue with the Maverick traditions. I have been in education for over twenty years, ten of which I spent in the Maverick Zone. I was blessed to work at Germantown Middle as a teacher, at Mannsdale as an assistant principal, and at Mannsdale Upper as the lead principal. I am even married to a Maverick. My husband, Coach Houghton, is a teacher at Germantown Middle and a football coach at Germantown High School.

     

    Coach Houghton and I have been married for thirty-five years. We have three amazing children, Haley, Chase, and Kelsey, one son-in-law, AJ Antonescu, and one daughter-in-law, Simone Ilia-Houghton. We are also proud pet owners of Bella, our Airedale Terrier, and Olive, our cat.

     

    I am excited about another year at Madison Crossing. I look forward to getting to know you and your precious children.

     

    Dr. Debra Houghton

    Principal, Madison Crossing Elementary
