Doris Barnes

Truly sadden to here about the death of Ms. Barnes. I worked at SHHS for a few years and Doris was our fearless leader. I remember she told an assistant principal as he was heading off to be a principal at a new school "to never let them see you sweat." Mrs. Barnes was outspoken, fearless, helpful and yet she had a kind heart. Condolences to Sharon, Blake and the rest of the family. May she rest in the loving arms of our God.

I will be forever grateful that when you call she answers and she listens. Her decision made a difference in our family and I love her for it. She very simply was an anchor that held tight.

I'm sadden at the passing of Doris West Barnes. I grew up with her in Alvin, Texas. She was a kind person. We attended the same church and she was a person of faith.

Doris was not only extremely intelligent, she was sassy and could back it up with her preparedness and drive . Doris had passion. Doris had faith. Doris had confidence . Doris was my friend "The truth of the matter is" she had a twinkle in her eye when she was trying to make a point, " like gotcha" didn´t I? She was a innovator in education. I´m sure her 3 children will have stories and memories to share a lifetime . How lucky you 3 were to have a mother like her; never afraid and full of...

Doris Barnes was my high school principal at South Houston Sr. High. I highly respected and admired her.

Doris Barnes was my hero! She was the definition of smart, savvy, compassionate, and strong! Throughout her career she touched lives and made a difference. She was unafraid. She took on giants and never wavered from what she believed was right. I loved her, admired her, and will miss her. Doris thank you for being YOU!!!!

I owe my career to Doris. She was a wonderful person to get to know and I enjoyed being her friend. Her legacy at SHHS can be seen even today and her devotion to making it a great place was great.
