Anne Clark, Principal
After receiving a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Baylor University in 2001, Mrs. Clark joined Irving ISD as a classroom teacher at Brown Elementary School. While working at Brown, she taught a variety of grade levels. In 2006, Mrs. Clark earned a Masters of Science in Math Education from Stephen F. Austin University. This allowed her to transition out of the classroom and joined A.S. Johnston to serve as the Instructional Coach, Interventionist, and Academic Specialist.
Continuing to feed her desire to grow in educational leadership, she obtained her administration certificate through Stephen F. Austin University in 2016. Mrs. Clark then served the students, staff, and families as the Assistant Principal of Johnston Elementary.
Mrs. Clark is excited to continue her service to Irving ISD as the principal of Townley Elementary. Townley’s mascot is the Torchlighter, and what an incredible symbol that is! A Torchlighter illuminates during dark times. It provides guidance, hope, and leads the way.
Mrs. Clark shares, “Our students will shine academically and with their character. I look forward to our partnership as we shine as Townley Torchlighters.”
Mrs. Clark enjoys spending time with her husband, James, and her twin sons, Thomas and Jack. On the weekends, the Clarks can usually be found outside at a soccer game or working in the yard.
