Eastern Hills High School

"If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together." Guided by this African proverb, Dr. Christie Mims-Samuel leads with synergy and trust as core values in her daily walk as an educator. A proud native of Dallas, Texas, and graduate of David W. Carter High School, she learned early, while navigating scoliosis, the courage and purpose to be unapologetically different.

From these experiences, Dr. Samuel developed an an unshakable foundation of resilience and grit. She operates with the firm conviction that physical limitations never dictate an individual's ability to push foward and achieve high goals, using her platform to serve as an empowering role model for the next generation.

Known as a "unicorn", Dr. Samuel chose to stand out by learning a new culture and language, minoring in Spanish and studying abroad in Cuermavaca, Mexico, to better serve students and expand their opportunities to thrive. She began her career as a general and bilingual teacher in Dallas ISD and has since led schools across the district, championing and supporting the growth of Two-Way Dual Language programs for all learner. She leads with compassion and resilience, demonstrating that being different is a gift that brings hope and leaves a lasting impact.

Dr. Samuel is driven by a passion to continuously grow and succeed. She has earned recognition as a Master Prinicpal, a Cahn Fellow Distinguished Prinicpal, and is honored to be of Prinicpal in Collaboration through the University of North Texas. She considers her greatest strength to be her willingness to be vulnerable while maintaining professional integrity to support the growth of both students and staff.

She holds a Doctor of Education in Educational Leadership, a Master's in Bilingual Education from SMU, a Bachelor of Science from the University of North Texas, and a Prinicpal Certification from the University of North Texas, and is currently continuing her leadership journey through the Texas A&M Superintendency Program.
