As CCISD plans for the upcoming school year, the district will keep the community updated regarding new leadership assignments. Today, the district announced two campus-level appointments.
Baker Middle School: Rachel Neff-Rupp has been named principal of Baker Middle School. Most recently, she served as principal of Cunningham Middle School at South Park, where she established the school’s STEM+M program in partnership with the Baylor College of Medicine. She follows Dr. Sarah Owen, who was recently named one of two Assistant Superintendents of School Leadership for Elementary Schools.
Cunningham Middle School at South Park: Danny Noyola Jr. has been named principal of Cunningham Middle School at South Park. Most recently, he was principal of Haas Middle School. In addition to serving as principal at Garcia Elementary School, he was an assistant principal at Cunningham Middle School prior to the school’s consolidation with South Park Middle School.
“Mrs. Neff-Rupp and Mr. Noyola are proven leaders who excel in building cohesive instructional teams as well as forging strong relationships throughout the community,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “We are confident the Broncs and Wolves communities will have a smooth transition to the new school year.”
The district anticipates naming a new principal for Veterans Memorial High School prior to the beginning of the school year.
The 2026-2027 school year begins Tuesday, August 11.
