Brittney Curtis-Matthieu

Brittney Curtis-Mathieu is honored to serve as the Secretary on the Klein Eagles Board this year. Though this is her first year in this role, she has been a part of the Klein Eagles organization since her oldest son was 11 and he is now 15. Over the years, she has seen two of her sons age out of the team, but her family’s bond with the Eagles remains strong. Currently, she has a son playing flag football and a daughter who cheers enthusiastically on the sidelines.

The connections she's made with fellow parents and the friendships her children have formed through the Klein Eagles are invaluable. Outside of her involvement with the team, she enjoys reading, cooking, and, above all, spending quality time with her family. She is excited about the upcoming season and looks forward to another fantastic year with the Klein Eagles. Fly high, Eagles!

Melissa Jackson

If you watched any freshmen football games last year, chances are you saw Melissa running up and down the sidelines with a camera in her hand.  It's safe to say she is passionate about supporting her son, Ryker, who will be entering his second year of freshmen football in the fall.

Athletics have been a major part of Melissa's life.  She was a heptathlete at the University of Iowa (Go Hawks!) and her husband, Charles, played football at the University of Nebraska (Go Huskers!).
