Troy Enriquez is a proud native of El Paso, Texas. Mr. Enriquez was a classroom teacher for five years. He was then recruited to IDEA’s Principal in Residence Program.

His school finished with a state-accredited A rating, and he is returning to El Paso to serve on our campus, focusing on instructional coaching and leadership development. Mr. Enriquez graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with BA’s in Government and History in May 2013.
