Hi everyone! I am Arley Barton and I am excited about joining the Hartman CoolCat family this year.  Before joining Hartman, I was the Assistant Principal at Tibbals Elementary. 

I have 2 awesome kids.  Cameron just graduated from high school and will be heading off to Kentucky to play baseball with a post-grad program.  Alysa is a sophomore at Wylie High.  She's a Varsity cheerleader this year so she is taking the year off from competitive cheer.

I grew up in Garland and graduated from Naaman Forest High School.  I attended University of North Texas and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies.  Later, I went back to Texas A&M Commerce and earned my Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction along with my principal certificate.

I believe all students possess great potential and we, as educators, have a responsibility to help them identify and work towards their goals.  It takes a village to build up all students and I am excited to be a part of the Hartman Village.
