District 2

Board Member Since 2025

Current term expires in 2029

Monica Henderson is a longtime Fort Bend County resident and a proud mother of two daughters attending Lamar CISD schools. Her mother was an elementary school teacher, inspiring her to become a teacher and, from early in her career, to dream of combining her political science degree with her passion for education by serving as a school board trustee. 

She graduated from Texas A&M University and began her career as a classroom teacher at Fort Bend ISD. She currently serves as a government teacher with Texas Online Preparatory School, a full-time online public school serving grades 3-12.

"I am committed to leaving a legacy that reflects a deep dedication to education and a strong sense of pride in our community. With 23 years in public education, I’m eager to share the knowledge and perspective I’ve gained to help guide the district forward. I want the board to think boldly and pursue innovative opportunities that will set Lamar CISD apart."
