As CCISD plans for the upcoming school year, the district will keep the community informed regarding new leadership assignments. Today, the district announced two campus-level appointments.
Veterans Memorial High School: Stevie Swanson has been named principal of Veterans Memorial High School. Most recently, she served as principal of Harold C. Kaffie Middle School. She follows Scott Walker, who was recently named one of two Assistant Superintendents of School Leadership for Elementary Schools.
Swanson, a CCISD graduate, holds a bachelor’s from Texas A&M University and a master’s from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, where she also completed her superintendent certification. In June 2025, she completed The Holdsworth Center’s Leadership Program. Swanson has served in instructional and administrative roles at the secondary level since 2010, primarily in CCISD. The district has named Annabel Ramirez, who has served as an assistant principal at Kaffie, as the middle school’s interim principal.
Los Encinos Elementary School: Yvonne Salinas has been named principal of Los Encinos Elementary School. Most recently, she served as principal of William B. Travis Elementary School since 2024. Her service to the district also includes serving as administrator of academics and accountability at Mary Carroll High School.
“The interview committees were impressed with Ms. Swanson’s and Mrs. Salinas’ ability to form cohesive instructional teams and build strong school-family partnerships,” said Superintendent Dr. Roland Hernandez. “We are excited to see these two capable leaders take on new roles in our district in time for the new school year.”
