Ruby Campuzano: 25 Years of Growing and Serving in SBISD

For Ruby Campuzano, Spring Branch ISD is more than where she works. It is the community where she grew up, raised her family and built a career spanning 25 years.

Ruby attended Ridgecrest Elementary, Landrum Middle School and Northbrook High School, and her own children later attended SBISD schools.

She joined the district at age 23 as an LEP assistant and discovered opportunities to continue learning and growing throughout her career. Over the past 25 years, Ruby has served SBISD in several roles, including:

• Classroom and campus support

• Paraprofessional application processing

• The substitute office

• Workers' Compensation and Safety

Along the way, professional development and colleagues who encouraged her to pursue new opportunities helped shape a career she never anticipated when she first joined the district.

“I have learned tremendously in various areas, and I'm thankful I got the opportunity to work in different roles,” Ruby said.

As SBISD celebrates 80 years of excellence, Ruby's story reflects generations of students, families and employees who have called Spring Branch home and continued giving back to the community.
