Meet Your School Leader

Felicia Ernest
Felicia.Ernest@kipptexas.org

Felicia Ernest serves as the School Leader of KIPP Sunnyside High School, bringing more than 12 years of experience working with students in grades 6–12. Her career began in the classroom as an English Language Arts teacher, and over the years she has grown as an educator and leader through roles in instructional coaching and school leadership.

For the past seven years, Felicia has proudly called KIPP Sunnyside High School home. She has served the community as an ELA teacher, instructional coach, and most recently as a participant in the two-year Principal-in-Residence program. Each of these experiences has deepened her commitment to the school, strengthened her leadership, and reaffirmed her passion for serving the students and families of Sunnyside.

Felicia’s perspective is also shaped by her role as a parent. She and her husband are raising three children, all proud KIPPsters, which gives her a unique appreciation for the care, dedication, and excellence she strives to cultivate in the school community.

At the heart of her leadership, Felicia is driven by a passion for student success. She leads with humility, collaboration, and the belief that when families, staff, and students work together, schools can prepare young people not only for college but for life.
