Laurie Miracle

Executive Director

My name is Laurie Miracle and I am the Director of the Laurel Heights Weekday School.

I have been affiliated with this wonderful school for several years as I have been providing staff training and parent seminars.  I consider it a great privilege to be a part of the Laurel Heights Weekday School team. I received my bachelor’s degree in Human Sciences from Texas Tech University.  I have worked as an Early Childhood Interventionist in the Lubbock area, as a special education classroom teacher in the Coppell Independent School District and also homeschooled my own three children for eight years.  I spent ten years as a PPCD (preschool program for children with disabilities) teacher in the Alamo Heights School District, where I also started the Mini Mule program (a district daycare/preschool program for employee’s children).  I have been providing staff development and coaching for several San Antonio pre-schools for the last three years.

My husband, David, and I have three grown daughters, three son-in-laws, three grand-daughters, five grandsons.  When I am not at the school my husband and I enjoy buying and fixing up houses.

As Director it is my desire to continue the LHWS tradition of excellence while assessing areas where we can grow as a school as we seek to provide the best care and education for our students and families.  Feel free to call or come by my office anytime. I love hearing from our families.
